Yuffie's story DLC will arrive on a download code in physical versions, which is bad news for pre-owned versions

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will include Yuffie's InterMISSION episode as a DLC code, which could be bad news for people who buy it pre-owned.

This was revealed recently via the EB Games website, a retailer based in Australia, through the product listing for the new version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

As the new InterMISSION content is supplied through a download code in the physical version of the game, this means those purchasing a pre-owned version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade most likely won't get the new story DLC, as the previous owner could have downloaded it. 

This is pretty unfortunate news for those who aren't able to purchase the new game from Square Enix when it launches next month, and might have been relying on a pre-owned copy at a slightly reduced price point to experience Yuffie's new adventure.

While Intergrade is a free upgrade for those who owned the original game on PS4, those who recently downloaded Final Fantasy 7 Remake as part of the free PS Plus games lineup for March 2021 won't be able to upgrade for free. Square Enix previously announced that only those who purchased the game at full price would be eligible for a free upgrade to Intergrade.
