In a blog post discussing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PC debut, Square Enix confirmed the team was “working hard to optimise the game for Steam Deck”. It promised more information on its Verification status in the future, so stay tuned for more on that when the time comes.

Controller-wise, those who prefer mouse and keyboard will be catered for on the game’s PC release. A DualSense can also be connected for the same controls as the PS5 version of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. In addition, Square Enix has included the “option to freely customise the controls between world exploration and combat or mini-games” alongside that aforementioned mouse and keyboard support.

If you are interested, you can pre-purchase Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth now via Steam and Epic Games Store. Those that do will get a 30 percent discount across editions, but this deal will conclude on 5th February.

Those editions? There is the Standard Edition, which includes the full game. This is currently retailing for £45.49 with the 30 percent discount.

“Rebirth is a playful take on an emo classic that’s bloated but full of character in a bid to justify its own existence,” our Ed wrote in Eurogamer’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth review, awarding the game four out of five stars.

Elsewhere from the Game Awards, we got a look at Naughty Dog’s next new franchise and the Ciri-fronted Witcher 4, to name but two.
