Final Fantasy VII Remake has been updated to version 1.01 on PS4. Here's the file size of this update and the patch notes as seen on PS4.

“Fixed various bugs”. There.

[Cyb3r]

Apart from bug fixes I hope this also means upcoming PS5 enhancements

[franwex]

Wouldn’t the update be for the ps5 rather than the ps4?

I too hope for some ps5 enhancements.

[porkChop]

That's what I've been thinking. Why would a PS4 update affect the game on PS5? You'd think there would be a separate update for that.

[LucasRuinedChildhood]

Probably just making sure it works properly on PS5, tbh. I wouldn't expect any big upgrades. BC likely won't do much for this game because the framerate is already locked but at least everyone can play the Pro version rather the base version on PS5 now.

That being said, the game did have some issues with loading textures but that probably wasn't due to the speed of the HDD and I think that was simply a bug so an SSD is unlikely to resolve that issue. Perhaps? We'll see.

[Smclaren1985]

Yeah I do think it could be a bit of both slow hd and the way it was optimized, could also be a ram issue . It would make the game so much more enjoyable if we had no loading etc

[Smclaren1985]

Yeah could just be for back combat just now. Fingers crossed we get a proper patch that takes advantage of ps5 scrubbing all loading 60fps higher resolution that would be more than enough reason for another play through 😁

[TitaniumExposed_VIP]

That will be delivered on the PS5 not PS4!

[garos82]

its still astounds me how the game came out without a single update till now. The game is almost flawless on the ps4

[Smclaren1985]

Seriously that’s the only update? Are you sure ? That’s incredible if it is like far too many devs these days rush the game out the door with plans to fix it later with patches. I just seen it’s patch 1.01 so your right that’s crazy and very rare

[garos82]

it is indeed a rare thing or even unheard of these days. i remember thinking this as i was playing the game. no day 1 patch and indeed no patches at all. im sure this patch is for ps5 compatibility

[Vanfernal]

I'm surprised they didn't address the missing textures.

[dumahim]

Only problem I noticed was some really low level textures in odd places.

If the game needs any new code to be compatible with the PS5 that will be delivered on the PS5 not the PS4

[SDuck]

Hopefully it's a sign the exclusivity contract is running out and the PC port is coming soon

[Levii_92]

What ? 😂

[SDuck]

the game only has a temporary exclusivity contract with Sony

[Smclaren1985]

I’m pretty sure it was a 1year exclusive I could be wrong but I’m sure I heard that

[SDuck]

Upon googling it, seems you're right. March 3rd is the day it ends the exclusivity

[bRuud83]

I still have to pick this one up, but my backlog is just to big and as a parent not enough time to play.

[Smclaren1985]

😂 yeah I know what you mean so many great games over the last 2 years on PlayStation Sony have made some incredible games this generation like

[Popsicle]

I would recommend you put it near the top of the backlog. For me it was one of the most fun games of the generation. I cannot wait for part 2!

[Smclaren1985]

Wish they would remove the long boring needless gameplay In chapter 14 lol the game was absolutely incredible other than that part it went on way too long and wasn’t fun. What a game though I absolutely loved it it blew me away. Definitely square back on top form. If part 2 is way more open than this one that would be perfect. I just hope they don’t make too many parts and milk it. 3 parts max hopefully fingers crossed 🤞

[Rebel_Scum]

Yeah I was getting bored of it around Chapter 9. Just did the train graveyard and the bits after it.

Extending the game has really messed up the pace of the game like in the original.

Like the planets dying we gotta do something....oh wait someones lost their cat.

[Smclaren1985]

Yeah I totally agree I would have been much happier if they cut that stuff out . Like you said it really messes up the pacing. They did a great job overall though a lot better than I expected esp after ff15 what a shell of a final fantasy game that was lol

[Popsicle]

Was hoping for a texture fix. Played through the game twice, and other than textures, I didn’t really see many bugs at all. Square did a great job on the initial release which is rare this generation for a game of this scope.

[Pughski]

Any fixes from the texture issues? I thought it took away from the experience and just idk.
