Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC will demand “some serious hardware to accommodate Cloud and his ridiculously large sword.” However, recent announcements confirm that it will also run effectively on the Steam Deck, now officially recognized as Steam Deck verified.
This verification guarantees that the game is fully functional on Steam Deck and operates seamlessly with the built-in controls and display. The default controller configuration works perfectly, in-game text is clearly readable, and the graphics setup performs admirably.
Square Enix expressed, “That means upon launch on January 23, you’ll be able to play the critically acclaimed RPG on a train, on a plane, swaddled up in bed, in the bathroom… wherever you want. It’s fine—we won’t judge.”
While the Steam Deck may not deliver the full cowboy experience of playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on high-end gaming PCs—promising features like improved lighting, enhanced visuals, DLSS, and 4K resolution at 120 fps—it nonetheless provides a mobile alternative without the hassle of transporting a full gaming setup.
To celebrate this achievement, Square Enix teases a special chocobo-themed Steam Deck, which boasts unique features and a special startup video. This upcoming device, although primarily a marketing strategy, looks to offer added value for fans and followers.

In summary, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is set to hit PC on January 23, and players can look forward to enjoying it anywhere thanks to Steam Deck certification.
