A new month is around the corner, so it's that time to run down the offerings for PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass members for March 2021. Plus members on the Sony brand have 2020's smash hit Final Fantasy VII Remake, Farpoint, Remnant: From The Ashes, and the PS5 exclusive Maquette. Game Pass subscribers have Warface Breakout, Vicious Attack Llama Apocalypse, and two games through backward compatibility, the Xbox 360's Metal Slug 3 and Port Royale 3.

PLAYSTATION PLUS

Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4)

Square Enix’s modern reimagining of its iconic RPG boasts unforgettable characters, a mind-blowing story and epic battles. Return to the city of Midgar as Cloud Strife, former member of Shinra’s elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the resistance group Avalanche. A reminder, this PlayStation Plus version of the game is NOT eligible for the PlayStation 5 upgrade. 

Remnant: From The Ashes (PS4)

In this third-person survival action shooter, play as one of the last remnants of humanity attempting to retake a world overrun by monstrous, interdimensional invaders. Venture into dynamically-generated worlds alone or with up to two other survivors*, scavenging for supplies and modding your equipment to strengthen your chances of survival when tackling over 100 deadly varieties of enemy and battling epic bosses.

*Multiplayer mode requires internet connection

Maquette (PS5)

MAQUETTE is a first-person recursive puzzle game that takes you into a world where every building, plant, and object are simultaneously tiny and staggeringly huge. Making its PlayStation 5 debut as part of next month’s PlayStation Plus lineup, Maquette sets you in the center of a world the rules of which are very different from our own. 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.

FARPOINT (PSVR)

On a mission to pick up scientists studying an anomaly near Jupiter, a sudden rupture nearby sends you and their station crashing onto an unknown alien world. Separated from your colleagues, you must use holographic logs scattered throughout the landscape to reunite with the scientists and escape the planet. Optimized for the PlayStation VR Aim controller and fully playable with a DualShock wireless controller, strike out towards your crashed space station solo or with a friend in online co-op.

All of these games will be available until April 5
