Updating: Sony has now confirmed the PS Plus PS5, PS4 games for the month of March 2021, which are indeed Maquette, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Farpoint and Remnant: From the Ashes. The PlayStation Blog also confirms that you cannot use this PS Plus version of Final Fantasy VII Remake to upgrade to PS5 title Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.
Please note that the PS4 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake available to PlayStation Plus members is not eligible for the upgrade from the digital PS5 version.
We’re currently working on a review for Scale Model, so keep your eyes peeled for that next week. In the meantime, you can read our 8/10 verdict for Final Fantasy VII Remake:
Measured against the immense expectations surrounding it, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a great game that will inevitably disappoint some fans. That said, playing the Midgar storyline 23 years later is dizzyingly surreal, and the game does a fantastic job of expanding the existing plot, while also powering a surprising amount of new ideas. Frustratingly poor level design sometimes hampers the fun, and visually the game is all over the place, but when at its best, Remake is brilliant and is taken to even greater heights by an excellent combat system.
We were also quite fond of Farpoint in our 7/10 review, despite the simplistic encounters:
Farpoint relies on novelty to make up for its shortcomings elsewhere, but handling the PlayStation VR Aim Controller is such a unique experience that it describes a dated game design. The story is cheesy but has some fun moments, and the action really gets to the tail end of the campaign. With an arcade mode and co-op included, Impulse Gear’s first outing is a satisfying offering, and while clear improvements can be made, there’s enough here to prove that blockbuster first-person shooters could already find a home on PlayStation VR.
Don’t forget that Destruction AllStars will be around for another month too, so cash that out. All four games will be available for download from March 2, 2021 to anyone with an active PS Plus subscription. You can also find a list with All free PS Plus games in 2021 and All PS Plus Collection games on PS5 through the links. Are you happy with the March 2021 line-up?

Original Story: We had to wait for them, but the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 titles coming to PlayStation Plus for free for the month of March 2021 have now actually been leaked through Facebook. The link in question is broken very quickly. This time around, PS5 owners can look forward to playing Maquette, while PS4 players will have Final Fantasy VII Remake, Farpoint and Remnant: From the Ashes.
The catch is that this PS Plus version of Final Fantasy VII Remake does not give you access to the PS5 version of the game. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade still has to be purchased separately for $ 70. There is no option for a free PS5 upgrade.
