Given the often confusing nature of cross-platform purchases, save transfers, and DLC on Sony's platform, some fans might be a little vexed on how to actually download this game and its extra content. Read on to find out how to transfer the PS4 save file to the PS5 and how to access the new chapter. Both the main game and DLC are fantastic, so it would be a shame to get hung up on actually starting it.

Yuffie's DLC Is Only Available On PS5

First thing's first, the DLC is only available to PS5 owners who have the upgraded version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Anybody who already purchased the PS4 version of the 2020 title is entitled to a free upgrade. However, it still costs an extra $19.99 to buy the new content.

Anyone who is buying the game for the first time or received Final Fantasy 7 Remake as a free PS Plus game will need to buy the game for full price, $69.99. This price also includes Yuffie's episode.

Transferring Saves Between PS4 And PS5

Bringing a save file from the PS4 to the PS5 is not as simple as uploading the save file to the cloud. One first must download the PS4 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake to their PS5. Then, in the menu, there is an option to upload the player's save file. Upload whichever one you want and then exit the game.

After downloading and booting up the PS5 upgrade, there is an option in the menu to download the save file. After selecting the file and downloading it, players are then free to delete the old version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Having both games downloaded takes up more than 150 gigabytes of space, but remember that the PS4 version can be downloaded onto external storage.

The PS5 upgrade, however, must be downloaded onto the console storage. It also has to be noted that a completed save file is not necessary to start playing INTERmission.

Buying And Activating The DLC

People who own Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and simply need to buy the DLC just need to search "Intermission" or "FF7R Episode" and it should come up for purchase. Afterward, start up the PS5 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. The game will let the player know they now have access to the new content. Press R2 to switch to the new menu for INTERmission and L2 to switch back to the menu for the main campaign. The giant Shuriken indicates the menu for INTERmission.

Even though it is not necessary to have a completed Final Fantasy 7 Remake save file to access INTERmission, it is recommended to have beaten the main campaign first. For one, there are few tutorials in the DLC episode and the combat is more difficult. Secondly, the story takes place parallel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake and it is easier to appreciate after completing the former.
