"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Yet to Be Verified"

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some tweaking to run smoothly. Dive into the details of Valve's Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and explore the game's PC requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's official testing confirms that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" due to the need for some manual adjustments. To earn the "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck’s controls and display, passing Valve’s rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing reveals that Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck supports all functionalities with the default controller configuration and displays the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text might be too small to read comfortably. Additionally, the game needs manual configuration to optimize its performance on the device.

This marks a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which remains unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, there's still ample time for Konami to refine its performance.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month, providing insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the detailed minimum and recommended specifications.

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is needed to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too jarring, those who connect their device to an HD TV may notice a difference. Konami also recommends using an SSD.

The recommended specs allow players to choose between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.

The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered a glimpse into what fans can expect from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
