You might be asking the question 'can you play Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion on Steam Deck?' if you're wanting to relive the portable experience for the spin-off game.

So, to find out whether you can play Crisis Core on Steam Deck and what the performance is like, make sure to carry on reading down below.
Is Crisis Core Steam Deck Verified?
As Crisis Core was originally a PSP game, it would be very surprising to see it not given any attention on Steam Deck, even if it has received a lovely new coat of paint. Thankfully, Square Enix has made it apparent from the moment that it was announced that it would be fully compatible with the Steam Deck, and thus you will be completely fine picking it up on Valve's portable platform.
It does currently have the 'Unknown' tag as it is in a pre-release state, but it will likely be updated to Fully Verified once it releases.
Crisis Core Steam Deck Performance
In some cases though, Steam Deck verification does not equal the best performance, but you thankfully don't have to worry about that at all here. Multiple sources who have tested the game on Deck attest to Crisis Core maintaining a consistent 60 FPS at high settings.
Steam Deck specialist YouTuber Mekel Kasanova stated within his early livestream of the game that Crisis Core runs at 60 FPS, highest settings perfectly fine, and that you can also get 3.5-4 hours of battery life too which is a huge plus.
Considering that the Switch version is locked at 30 FPS, playing Crisis Core on the Steam Deck really does seem to be the best way to play Zack Fair's story on the go.
So, that should give you all the information you need if you were wondering 'can you play Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion on Steam Deck. Make sure to stay tuned to GGRecon for all things Final Fantasy in the future.
