GoonerLukeThe Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 not that I'm going to play the game but you still technically had to pay for the game (as you pay for ps plus) should be free as well really 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HusKy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Anyone else having an issue and not being able to buy this? It just says "Not available for purchase". The price shows up as "Free" in search though. Edited June 10, 2021 by HusKy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price shows up as "Free" in search though. If it's free then that should mean you own the disc or digital version that can be upgraded for free (so you'll want the upgrade option instead). This should only be available to buy if you only have the PS Plus Edition of the game - according to the info on the page. If it's still not working, they may still be making it active as it only appeared a few hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggworth Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I was hoping for this when it was first announced. I'm happy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turniplord Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 I've emailed my PR contact to check everything is okay. As it only went live a short while ago, it may not be fully working. I'll update when I get a reply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmannequin Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 That's not bad, actually. I was fearing we'd have to pay full price to upgrade the Plus version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, in ten years you can't upgrade anymore, because the game (and the upgrade) is no longer avaible in the store.

Right, but there is no paid upgrade path. It's either free or you have to pay full price for the PS5 version. It clearly says so in the description.

As you said, it clearly states that. The PAID upgrade however applies to the PS Plus version. If you already bought the game, be it physical or digital, why would they charge to upgrade? 7 minutes ago, Asimb0mb said: Again, read the description. It clearly states there's no paid upgrade path.

Ok, you may be right, I'm super confused now. The only reason I know there was a paid upgrade path was this :https://psprices.com/region-nz/game/4666086/final-fantasy-vii-remake-upgrade-for-ps4-version-owners Shows as $18NZD or £8.99 as OP said.

Nuzzgok Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) And here I went out and bought the disk version the other day for £20.. guess I'll be selling that again and getting this deal Edit: store page just says I already own it since I got the disk upgrade already. Not a clue how it works Edited June 11, 2021 by Nuzzgok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcesius Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) I mean.. I might be blind.. but when I go to that product, it does not state anywhere that it costs 8.99€, nor that it is the paid upgrade for the PS Plus version. Nor do I find any information online about a paid upgrade being available for the PS Plus version of the game in the first place, with even IGN having updated their "how to upgrade" post like an hour ago still stating that the PS+ version cannot be upgraded at all. In the above product it's just stated that if you got the game via PS+ you can just buy Intergrade (duh). Am I missing something?

I saw this listing ~12 hours before this thread. Not sure where the price comes from though. I think this is some sort of license file that gets automatically "purchased" when you claim the free upgrade from the "..." menu in PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the free upgrade, this one did have a price when it first went live but it seems to have been disabled now. But, it was offering the PS5 upgrade to the Ps Plus owners for £8.99 I'll lock the thread as it's clearly not working anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
