Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which launches on PC on January 23rd, has been verified for Steam Deck. Handhelds are the best way to play giant RPGs, IMO.
Square Enix also published a video showing the game’s different graphics presets in action and a video of the game running on Steam Deck.
Updates: Added graphics presets video and Steam Deck video.
As I wrote earlier this month, “it will launch into a world that’s packed with very capable handheld gaming PCs that could present an interesting challenge to Nintendo.”
Yes, the Switch 2 will probably outsell most handheld gaming PCs by a wide margin. But nowadays, Nintendo isn’t the only one offering great handhelds that can also connect to bigger screens.
Just listen, starting at about 1:20 in Nintendo’s video. I am guessing this is amped up for impact, but the sound might be the best part of the whole video.
I recorded this with a sleeping baby in the next room, so I apologize if my voice sounds a bit quiet. It’s only just past 6AM here on the West Coast — why did Nintendo announce its new console so early?
