AYANEO’s entry into the handheld market with the AYANEO 3 reflects a growing trend of handheld gaming PCs designed to compete directly with devices like Valve’s Steam Deck. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is officially Steam Deck Verified, ensuring that Valve’s handheld gaming PC will fully support the game when it launches on January 23, 2025. Steam Deck Owners Can Take FF7 Rebirth Anywhere The Steam Deck Verified status means that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has been tested and approved to run smoothly on the Steam Deck with minimal performance concerns. Valve’s verification process ensures that the game is fully functional with the Steam Deck’s controls, resolution, and performance settings. Square Enix also shared footage of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth running on the Steam Deck, showing a snippet of the early flashback sequence in Nibelheim. While Steam Deck users will enjoy portability, high-end PC players can push Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth to its full graphical potential. Now that it’s Steam Deck Verified, fans can experience the game however they prefer—on a high-end gaming rig for maximum performance or portably on the Steam Deck for adventure on the go.
