Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is Steam Deck Verified
As of January 16, 2025, the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has officially received Steam Deck verification from Square Enix. This confirmation comes alongside an exciting trailer that showcases gameplay from the JRPG, demonstrating its seamless performance on the handheld console. This announcement bodes well for players looking to explore the game’s world on various handheld gaming PCs.
Initial Concerns and Progress Updates
It’s worth noting that this wasn’t always the case. In December 2024, Square Enix communicated that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth did not meet the Steam Deck verification status. However, the development team promptly addressed these concerns, committing to enhancing compatibility well ahead of the game’s launch.
Watch the Gameplay Trailer
The official trailer not only reassures players about its functionality on Steam Deck but also provides a glimpse into the story. The footage features early game scenes, including a significant flashback to the pivotal moment when Cloud and Sephiroth visit Nibelheim. This encounter with Tifa and the subsequent events help shape Cloud’s complex character arc from hero to villain. The brief video showcases both dramatic cinematics and intense battle sequences, lasting approximately one minute.
