Breath of Fire IV Comes to PC via GOG Dreamlist

Back when GOG announced the Dreamlist initiative to grant access to older PC versions of games, it made a point of mentioning Breath of Fire IV. Then, on April 24, 2025, it teased the title on social media. Now, the game is back as part of the GOG Preservation Program initiative. It costs $9.99. 

As part of the announcement, GOG confirmed about 22,000 voted for the Breath of Fire game on the Dreamlist site. It also went over the additional features implemented to help ensure compatibility and make sure it runs as well as possible on modern systems. Part of that means it works with Windows 10 or 11, both in full-screen or windoed mode. Anti-aliasing, V-sync, and gamma correction are also available. Of course there’s still controller , with newer ones like the DualSense, Xbox Series X, Joy-Cons, and NVIDIA Shield ones working. It does cloud saves. The only audio option is Japanese, but you can switch between the English and Japanese subtitles.

As with other GOG releases, this version of Breath of Fire IV also includes some adjusted and restored content. Specifically, the crane and warehouse minigames are apparently “improved” on some way. The company also worked with Capcom to restore missing environmental sounds.

Here’s the trailer for the release:

Breath of Fire IV debuted on the PlayStation worldwide, it appeared on the PC in both Japan and Europe, and now it is widely available via GOG.
