Upgrade Final Fantasy Resonance to Digital Deluxe

Updated · Standard formula, shown below

Upgrading Final Fantasy Resonance from the standard edition to the Digital Deluxe Edition adds bonus in-game items, a digital art book, and the original soundtrack. This guide walks you through the process on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC (Steam), including how to check if you already own the upgrade and what to do if the store doesn’t recognize your purchase.

What You’ll Need

  • A copy of Final Fantasy Resonance Standard Edition installed on your platform.
  • The same account (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Steam) that you used to purchase the game.
  • A stable internet connection to download the additional content.
  • Enough storage space for the extra files (typically 2–5 GB).
  • Payment method or store credit for the upgrade price (if not already owned).

Step-by-Step

  1. Check if you already own the Digital Deluxe content. On your platform’s library, look for the game’s add-ons or downloadable content (DLC) list. If you see the Digital Deluxe Upgrade listed as “Owned” or “Installed,” you’re done – you already have it. If not, proceed.
  2. Open your platform’s store.
    • PlayStation: From the PS5 or PS4 home screen, go to the game’s hub and select “Add-Ons” or search the PlayStation Store for “Final Fantasy Resonance Digital Deluxe Upgrade.”
    • Xbox: Open the Microsoft Store app, search for the game, then select “Add-ons” or “Included with the game” to find the upgrade.
    • Steam: Open your Steam library, right-click Final Fantasy Resonance, select “Properties,” then “DLC.” If the upgrade isn’t listed there, go to the Steam Store page for the game and look under “Content for this game.”
  3. Select the Digital Deluxe Upgrade. Make sure you choose the “Upgrade” or “Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade” option, not the full Digital Deluxe Edition (which is a separate purchase that includes the base game). The upgrade should be priced lower and will only add the bonus content.
  4. Complete the purchase. Follow the checkout process. If you already own the base game, the store should automatically apply the upgrade price. If it doesn’t, see the Troubleshooting section below.
  5. Download the additional content. After purchase, the new content should begin downloading automatically. If it doesn’t, go to your library, find the game, and select “Manage Game” or “Download” to manually start the download.
  6. Restart the game. Once the download finishes, fully close and relaunch Final Fantasy Resonance. The bonus items (e.g., exclusive armor, weapon skins, in-game currency) should appear in your inventory or be claimable from the in-game mailbox or store.
  7. Verify the art book and soundtrack. On PlayStation and Xbox, these are often separate apps or files in your library. On Steam, they are stored in the game’s installation folder (usually under steamapps\common\Final Fantasy Resonance\Digital Deluxe).

Common Mistakes

  • Buying the full Digital Deluxe Edition instead of the upgrade. This results in paying for the base game twice. Always look for the word “Upgrade” in the title.
  • Purchasing on the wrong account. If you bought the game on a different PSN, Xbox, or Steam account, the upgrade won’t apply. Log into the account that owns the base game.
  • Expecting the upgrade to work on a physical disc from another region. DLC is region-locked. If your disc is from Europe and your store account is from the US, the upgrade won’t be compatible.
  • Not checking the game’s DLC list first. Some players already have the upgrade from a pre-order bonus or a bundle, so they buy it again unnecessarily.
  • Ignoring the download queue. The bonus content may not start downloading automatically if your console is in rest mode or Steam is offline.

Tips

  • Wait for a sale. The Digital Deluxe Upgrade frequently goes on sale on all platforms. If you’re not in a hurry, wishlist it and wait for a discount.
  • Check bundle deals. Sometimes the upgrade is bundled with other DLC at a lower combined price. Compare the total cost before buying separately.
  • Use the mobile store apps. On PlayStation and Xbox, you can purchase the upgrade from the mobile app and then set the download to start on your console remotely.
  • Verify the art book and soundtrack file locations. On PC, the bonus files are often in a subfolder. You can right-click the game in Steam and select “Manage” → “Browse local files” to find them.
  • Contact support before buying again. If you’re sure you purchased the upgrade but it’s not showing, contact the platform’s support first – they can usually fix license issues.

Troubleshooting

  • The upgrade price isn’t showing (shows full price). This usually means the store doesn’t recognize that you own the base game. On PlayStation, try restoring licenses: Settings → Users and Accounts → Other → Restore Licenses. On Xbox, go to Settings → Account → Subscriptions and check that your game purchase is linked. On Steam, restart the client and verify game files (right-click game → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files).
  • You bought the upgrade but it’s not downloading. Go to your library, select the game, and click “Manage” (PlayStation) or “Ready to install” (Xbox). On Steam, go to the DLC tab in Properties and check the box next to the upgrade. If it’s already checked, uncheck and re-check it to force the download.
  • The bonus items aren’t in your inventory. Restart the game completely (not just suspend). If they still don’t appear, check the in-game mailbox or the “Claim Bonuses” menu. On some platforms, you may need to redeem a code from the store receipt.
  • You get an error saying the content is not available. This is often a region mismatch. Verify that your store account region matches the region of your game disc or digital purchase. If it doesn’t, you may need to create an account for the correct region (though this is not recommended for long-term use).
  • The art book or soundtrack doesn’t open. On PlayStation, look for separate apps in your library (e.g., “Final Fantasy Resonance Digital Art Book”). On Xbox, they may be in the “Apps” section. On Steam, navigate to the game’s local files and open the PDF or audio files manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade from the physical standard edition?

Yes, as long as the disc’s region matches your store account region. Insert the disc, then purchase the upgrade from the store. You’ll need to keep the disc inserted to play the game.

Do I lose my save progress when I upgrade?

No. The upgrade only adds content; your save files remain intact and compatible.

Is the Digital Deluxe Upgrade the same as the Season Pass?

No. The Digital Deluxe Upgrade includes the art book, soundtrack, and exclusive in-game items. The Season Pass (if available) includes future story DLC. They are separate purchases.

Can I buy the Digital Deluxe content separately without the upgrade?

Usually no. The art book and soundtrack are only available through the upgrade or the full Digital Deluxe Edition. In-game items might be sold individually later, but that varies.

If I already have the base game on Game Pass, can I upgrade?

Yes, you can buy the Digital Deluxe Upgrade while the base game is on Game Pass. However, if the game leaves Game Pass, you’ll need to purchase the base game to continue playing.

Does the upgrade include the next-gen version of the game?

No. The Digital Deluxe Upgrade is a content pack, not a different version of the game. If a separate PS5/Xbox Series X version exists, it must be purchased separately (though some games offer free upgrades – check the store page).
