Final Fantasy VII Remake headlines March's PS Plus games

By Heidi Nicholas,

Sony has confirmed the line-up for PlayStation Plus in March. From March 2nd, you can download Remnant: From the Ashes and Final Fantasy VII Remake, along with Maquette for PS5 and Farpoint for PS VR.

Remnant: From the Ashes is a post-apocalyptic survival shooter. Humanity is under threat from creatures from other dimensions. Using portals, you'll need to travel to these other worlds to look for resources, investigate the source of these monsters, and stay alive long enough to carve out a future for mankind. March's second PS Plus game is the Final Fantasy VII Remake, an RPG about Cloud Strife, a mercenary working for a resistance group in the city of Midgar. It's available for PS4, although Adam Michel, SIE's senior manager of game services content, says that the PS4 version of the game you get through your PS Plus membership won't be eligible for that PS5 digital upgrade.

Then there's Maquette, which launches on March 2nd and arrives for PS5 PS Plus members on the same day. It's both a puzzle game and a love story "designed around a Escher-esque recursive simulation... 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." Michel adds that you can use the PS5 Game Help feature if you get stuck. Lastly, there's FPS Farpoint for PS VR, which sees you "master an arsenal of weapons to keep yourself alive on a hostile alien world."

All of these games arrive on March 2nd, and are available until April 5th. Don't forget, Destruction AllStars will also be available until April 5th, while the rest of February's PS Plus games — Control: Ultimate Edition and Concrete Genie — will leave PS Plus on March 1st.

Hey, I'm Heidi! I've just finished studying a Masters in English Literature, but I've been obsessed with gaming since long before then. I began on the PS2 with Spyro, before graduating to the Xbox 360 and disappearing into Skyrim. I'm now a loyal RPG fan, but I still like to explore other genres — when I'm not playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, or being lured back into Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3!
