Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Steam Deck Support Announced
[summaraize]
One of the best games of 2024 and my personal Game of the Year, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is finally coming to PC this month. Though the PS5 version of the game was already an incredible experience, the PC version promises a slew of enhancements, from better resolution to higher framerates and even a wider range of aspect ratios, just enough to use those powerful rigs.
However, if you’re one of the many who purchased a Steam Deck over the years, you’ll be excited to learn that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is Steam Deck verified!

As revealed on the official Final Fantasy 7 X account, Steam Deck verification is a go for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! There are no exact specifications in terms of how the game runs (we assume it’ll be 30 FPS), but Square Enix released a near-minute-long video showing the game running on Steam Deck.

The timing of this announcement couldn’t come at a better time either, as Nintendo announced the Nintendo Switch 2 earlier today. While this is by no means a confirmation, one could hope that if Square Enix managed to get this running on the Steam Deck, then perhaps they might be able to get it working on the Switch 2. One can hope, and we know Nintendo fans have been itching to play Remake and Rebirth.
This isn’t the only Steam Deck-related news that the publisher had to share either, as they’ve also prepared a very special Chococbo-themed Steam Deck. And yes, those are features!
Obviously, you shouldn’t use your Steam Deck with that on it. Square Enix confirmed that it is removable, and details on its availability will be provided later. Hopefully, they aren’t being sold in limited quantities, as that’s a pretty cool sleeve to have for a Steam Deck, and I would hate for them to run out before I could snag one myself.
In some related news, Square Enix released a graphical preset trailer for PC, showing off minimum, recommended, and ultra presets for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
