FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH gets Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH from Square Enix arrives on January 23rd, and thankfully the developers have already managed to get it Steam Deck Verified ahead of the release.

I was hoping this would be the case, since the developer did previously confirm they were working on Steam Deck optimisations. Today the verification went public as shown on SteamDB (and now on the Steam page) as Verified using Proton 9.0-4, the latest stable release of Valve's compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux systems.

Really great to see!
