Sony closed out their latest State of Play broadcast by announcing that Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to PlayStation 5 on June 10.
The game is an enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII Remake that includes improvements like 4K resolution, 60 FPS support, improved fog, lighting, and textures along with better load times and a Photo mode. It will also include a brand-new episode of content featuring Yuffie.
PlayStation 4 owners who own the game on disc or digitally will get a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version but you will have to buy the Yuffie DLC separately if you upgrade. If you just buy the PlayStation 5 version for $69.99 it comes included with it. If you get Final Fantasy VII Remake on PlayStation 4 for free on PlayStation Plus in March, that version is not eligible for the free upgrade.
