Sony just revealed their PlayStation Plus lineup of "free" games for March 2021. There are some great titles here so you'll want to pay close attention. There's also a sneaky catch here that you need to be aware of before you run off to get one of the titles.
First up, the games being offered are for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and even one PS VR title. They are Final Fantasy VII Remake, Remnant: From the Ashes, Maquette (PS5 only), and Farpoint (PlayStation VR only).
Now the catch here is that this particular freebie of Final Fantasy VII Remake is NOT eligible for the free PlayStation 5 digital version upgrade! If you want that upgrade, you will have to actually purchase Final Fantasy VII Remake itself or just purchase Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade when it releases later this year.
Now that you know that, you can either wait for a sale on the PS4 version of Remake or just wait for Intergrade and spend $70 on that. The choice is, of course, yours.
Look for all of these titles starting March 2. As an aside: Remnant: From the Ashes is a great game that more people should play. Think Dark Souls but with guns.
Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)
Square Enix’s modern reimagining of its iconic RPG boasts unforgettable characters, a mind-blowing story and epic battles. Return to the city of Midgar as Cloud Strife, former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the resistance group Avalanche. Initially executing daring raids against Shinra to fight back against its planet-threatening machinations, Cloud and his comrades are unaware of the epic consequences that await them.
The story of this first, standalone game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake project covers up to the party’s escape from Midgar, and goes deeper into the events occurring in Midgar than the classic original.
Please note the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake available to PlayStation Plus members is not eligible for the PS5 digital version upgrade.
Remnant: From the Ashes (PS4)
In this third-person survival action shooter, play as one of the last remnants of humanity attempting to retake a world overrun by monstrous, interdimensional invaders. Venture into dynamically-generated worlds alone or with up to two other survivors, scavenging for supplies and modding your equipment to strengthen your chances of survival when tackling over 100 deadly varieties of enemy and battling epic bosses.
Maquette (PS5)
All that is tiny is simultaneously huge in this intriguing first-person puzzler designed around a Escher-esque recursive simulation. Making its PlayStation 5 debut as part of next month’s PlayStation Plus lineup, Maquette sets you in the center of a world the rules of which are very different from our own. Solutions to puzzles require you to twist the world recursively – manipulating the landscape of a diorama will see those changes mirrored in the life-sized version that surrounds you. If you get perplexed by a puzzle, you can call up PS5’s Game Help for helpful hints to solve Maquette’s tougher conundrums.
Farpoint (PS VR)
Master an arsenal of weapons to keep yourself alive on a hostile alien world in this free-roaming, first-person PS VR shooter. Optimised for the PlayStation VR Aim controller and fully playable with a DualShock wireless controller, strike out towards your crashed space station solo or with a friend in online co-op. Trade alien threats for testing each other’s skills in a variety of Versus game modes.
