DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined announced for February 2026, already rated Steam Deck Playable

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined has been revealed and it will be launching February 2026, and we already have Valve testing it on Steam Deck ahead of release.

Valve have given it a Steam Deck Playable rating due to some in-game text being too small, which is an easy problem for the developer to solve between now and the February 5th 2026 release date. Valve also note the first-time setup requires an internet connection. On top of that the Steam page notes it also has Denuvo Anti-tamper.
