It says 'Download' and 'Installed' right there, with the PS Plus icon.
Edit: also that it's available for Game Catalog.

You can download with the streaming service. And ps now got lumped into plus.
I imagine this Is region bound since where I am we don't get ps now

Cool. I was looking through the Extra/Premium catalogs yesterday and was impressed by the amount of solid games available. I'd go so far as to say it's better than what's on GPU.

Game Catalog is available worldwide.

It's literally exactly what I said. Ps plus incorporates ps now. The download feature is apart of the streaming service, you can download games that you can stream.
This can take 5 seconds to prove
Notice how I can't download it, and I am a ps plus ultimate or whatever it's called member

This has nothing to do with the old PS Now (currently PS Plus Premium) thing, Game Catalog titles are, first of all, for PS Plus Extra. If you're a PS Plus Deluxe (available for countries without game streaming support) user, you should be able to play EVERYTHING included in PS Plus Extra.It's literally exactly what I said. Ps plus incorporates ps now. The download feature is apart of the streaming service, you can download games that you can stream.

So I return to my question:Lol well then you magically add it to my game account then
FFXVI was never announced for anything PS Plus related, so it must be a bug in somewhere.

My message when clicking the icon while on the PS5 (US and Extra user btw):
"Upgrade to Playstation Plus Premium to stream this game and hundreds more"
Has the Upgrade button where the download button should be.

PS Now hasn't been a thing for years.

So let see if i understand... one day Square anounces (for the third or fourth time, btw) that it will release more games for Xbox... on the other day, the latest mainline FF is released in a rival subscription service... :-D

Guess Sony's exclusivity contract had a clause that delayed any potential PC or Xbox versions until the game's arrival on PS Plus. If Sony's check didn't literally fund and market the game in whole, SquareEnix are the most retarded mother fuckers on the face of the earth. Who the fuck's going to pay $50 - $80 for a 2 years old game that's "free" on Playstation? They just torpedoed sales on every platform.
Stupid. As. Fuck.

Wow, can't believe that worked. I was very tempted to pick this up for £20 over the weekend but decided to invest more in buying Rebirth instead. I enjoyed what I played of the demo too and thankfully I don't have to play that prologue again.

Be sure to update the OT with impressions. I know I'm curious what newcomers will think of it.

I'd be surprised if it doesnt get announced for GP at TGS at this point. Guess we'll see what SQEX's strategy is.
Safe to say the legs haven't been that long.

It was a bug or maybe a mistake since they revoked the license.

I still have a working digital copy of World of Final Fantasy, which I got due to a glitch when I bought the physical version—it essentially gave me two versions. I also have a digital copy of Knack 2, which was another glitch that’s still active. Obviously, Final Fantasy XVI is a much bigger title, so it makes sense that any accidental access would be revoked, but how did they mess this up in the first place?
You didn’t miss anything. It was an error and the license was revoked.

This is kind of annoying to me. Paid full price for the game when it came out and this just kind of makes it feel like you might as well just wait a while and whatever game you wanna play will eventually reach this point. I get it I do and I understand it's been out for like 2 years now, but still. Seems like in today's world to pay for a game is to play it NOW or just be patient and it'll be included as a free game on whatever service eventually.
Edit: I see it was taken down going by latest posts but the opinion is the same. This isn't the first game I've done this with.

Was this meant to be shadow dropped at the State of Play and someone hit the switch too early?
Regardless, I really enjoyed it, flaws and all.

Sony had been adding the games coming to PC onto PS+ first. So wouldn’t surprise me. At least some of them.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
FF16 isn't a Sony game, tho.

Might not matter. They got a relationship with Square.

Probably a game for next month then.
FFVII Remake was also quite fast to go to PS Plus.

Only to the people misinterpreting what their report was really about.
