Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth verified for Steam Deck handheld

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Verified for Steam Deck

Exciting news for Final Fantasy fans – the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been officially verified for the Steam Deck ahead of its PC release next week. This means that players will be able to enjoy the epic RPG on the go, adding another layer of accessibility to the game.

Rumors have also been circulating about the possibility of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth coming to Nintendo’s newly-revealed Switch 2 console, although Square Enix has not confirmed this yet.

The PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth comes with a host of new visual enhancements including improved lighting, enhanced textures and modeling, DLSS, VRR, and more. While these upgrades may not be available on the Steam Deck due to its comparatively lower power, having a verified version of the game for the handheld device is still a significant achievement.

Players can expect an immersive experience with the new tech specs recommended by Square Enix for the game. However, for those aiming to enjoy the game at Ultra settings with all the graphical improvements, a strong setup will be required.

It’s refreshing to see Square Enix fully embracing the PC market with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, catering not only to PC players but also to those on the Steam Deck. This move signifies a step towards making the game more widely accessible to a broader audience.

Previous releases of Final Fantasy games on PC have faced performance issues, with Final Fantasy 16 being a demanding title. However, with the Steam Deck verification and upcoming PC release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix seems to be addressing these issues and providing a better experience for players.

To celebrate the Steam Deck verification, Square Enix has even created a special chocobo-themed handheld device (refer to the video above). While details about its availability remain vague, fans can look forward to potentially getting their hands on this unique piece of merchandise.
