Serious Hardware for a Serious Game
When the system requirements for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth were released back in December 2024, we couldn’t help but chuckle. With a staggering 155GB of storage and some hardware requirements that could rival a small spaceship, it’s clear that Cloud and his impossibly large sword are not to be trifled with. However, don’t toss your portable gaming dreams aside just yet!
Steam Deck: Gaming on the Go
In a delightful twist, we learned that despite these hefty specifications, the Steam Deck is officially Steam Deck verified for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth! This means players can dive into this critically acclaimed RPG in their pajamas, on a train, or even in the comfort of their bathroom. Yes, you read that right—Square Enix even said it’s fine; they won’t judge your gaming habits!
Glimpse of Chocobo Magic
Now, while the Steam Deck may not unleash the full graphical might of a high-end desktop PC—think improved lighting, 4K resolution at 120 FPS—its portability is unmatched. And let’s not forget about the upcoming chocobo-themed Steam Deck. It features removable feathers (sensible, really) and promises a special start-up video that just screams fun. Square Enix has hinted there will be more surprises ahead, which makes keeping an eye on social media worth your while.
So, if you’re eager to embark on this grand adventure without the hassle of transporting your entire gaming setup, grab a Steam Deck and prepare for epic journeys into the world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!
