Final Fantasy 13 in 4K on Steam Deck? | Deck Dives

Today we’re pushing Final Fantasy 13 as hard as we can and making some massive strides along the way. Watch as we bring FF13 from a bad port all the way to a great JRPG.

Note: Most of these fixes should also work for FF13-2 and Lightning Returns.
