I have the physical PS4 version and a digital PS5 -- so there's no way I can prove to Sony I own a valid license. Same issue I had with Borderlands 3. It's not that confusing. A physical disc presents it's license when you put it in and click Upgrade. The digital non-Plus version presents it's license and allows you to upgrade. The digital Plus version presents it's upgrade and it says Do not allow upgrade. Three different licenses all prove to Sony which license you have. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, but appreciate you putting it in these straightforward terms anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 If there's no reason you want a digital version for a game you own physically, I would say don't bother. If there is a practical reason (pet who likes to eat PS4 discs, using disc for your automatic sander, etc.), then pick it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSaiyan3985 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I think you'll be fine redeeming the PS+ version, because you can always buy either the digital or physical versions later and use that to upgrade to the PS5 version. I'm pretty sure they changed it on the PS Store so that you can switch between licenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDragon Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) According to the PS Blog, the PS+ version can’t be upgraded. I’m sure it was mentioned. Edited February 26, 2021 by MidnightDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr4de_04 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I mean i get the concern, but can't you just contact playstation support if things go wrong? I would just claim it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katt Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Here is a simple and short answer: Claim the PS Plus version. You can still get the PS5 upgrade later with another digital version and/or physical PS4 version. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryogenicide_X Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Well I just claimed it (I already have the disc version installed) and the PS Plus version is acting like the disc version. It doesn't seem as though the PS Plus version is separate from the disc version as it says "installed" through having the disc version installed beforehand. So when the time comes to the PS5 upgrade, I don't see how it will know I'm trying to get it through the disc version? It's going to think it's the PS Plus version which we all know the PS5 version can't be redeemed with. I think I may have screwed myself over with claiming the PS Plus version...

You could claim the ps5 free upgrade with your disc on an alt account on ps5, and then play on your main.

GizMo_The_Great Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) I claimed it. Your disc version should still upgrade perfectly fine. The PS5 will recognise that you have the disc inserted and offer you the upgrade. Just uninstall the digital PS+ copy first. The upgrade version should be separate on the licensing end, but you wouldn’t see any difference. At the very worst, if your fears are founded, you could make a new account and get the upgrade on that account for free. Then just play the game on your own account. But I highly doubt Sony will lock you out of your free upgrade for your physical copy just because you have the digital PS+ version on your account. Because that would stop anyone from getting the upgrade by buying the disc copy at a later date too.

RedDevil757 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm not grabbing it personally. I've been burned by plus games a few times over the years. Can't buy the game of the year version because you have the plus version so you're forced to buy the dlc separately at a greater cost. They supposedly fixed it years ago but 99% of the time that's not true. I'm in no hurry, I'll just grab the ps5 version when it's in a sale.

saiyanbloodstyle Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Claim it on plus, it will recognise that you own the game on disc if you put it in on June so you can upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Just FYI, if you claim a game on Plus, and you like it so much that you want to rebuy it (maybe during a sale), you can do it since August 2020. Only works with PS4 games and through the PS4 Store app, though. Edited March 2, 2021 by Lance_87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanzenchaos Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 If all else fails you can just log in with a different account (which doesn't own FF7R from PS+), put the disc in your PS5 and upgrade it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXTHUNDER Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 On 2/26/2021 at 9:17 AM, Bos10George said: Now that FF7R is the PS plus game for March, they are announcing that if you claim that version you will not get a free upgrade for that digital version. You answered your own question the PlayStation Plus digital version is not a free upgrade. So what makes you think that when you put your physical copy in your PlayStation 5 you will not get the free updated PlayStation 5 version minus the Yuffie DLC? Do you not think the PlayStation 5 doesn't know the difference between digital vs an actual disc in the console? I'm pretty sure SONY will have all that figured out by then because I'm sure they won't want to deal with the complaints. One of the main reasons I believe they delisted Cyberpunk 2077.

MythicNuke2K Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I doubt it will void you from upgrading for free, but to stay safe, I wouldn't claim the plus version. FFVII is dropping in price fast. I don't even own FFVIIR nor a PS5, I'm about to buy a physical PS4 copy to get intergrade for free when I find actually manage to find one (Darn scalpers) . Staying away from the PLUS version. It might seem generous of Playstation to have offered such a popular game, but it's not without an agenda. You don't even get to own it, you rent the game. Intergade will be far superior to the PS4 version, with a performance boost and DLC included. It will easily be the definitive way to experience the game. I know I'm going to regret it like crazy when I buy a PS5 and find out I can't upgrade, because of having been impatient months prior. You already own a physical copy, I'd just wait.

Nitemares----- Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Why would anyone download the free version on PS Plus if they already have it, plus it even says it's not eligible for the PS5 upgrade, makes no sense to download.

A few reasons if you own it physical: 1) One day your disc breaks or you want to sell it. 2) You have multiple people that want to play it. IE- Yourself and your roommate/sibling/spouse/kid. I have 2 PS4s with different accounts for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFVII Remake can be bought for less than 30 bucks now and upgrading to Intergrade is entirely free. It's the wisest option if you plan on buying a PS5 soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
