"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Not Yet Verified"

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some adjustments to ensure optimal performance. Dive deeper into Valve's classification for Silent Hill f on Steam Deck and discover the game's PC requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's rigorous testing has confirmed that Silent Hill f can be enjoyed on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status due to the need for specific configurations. To achieve "verified" status, a game must be seamlessly compatible with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's stringent checks on input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing results reveal that Silent Hill f offers full functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the correct Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text might be too small and challenging to read. Additionally, players will need to manually tweak settings to optimize the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

This is a significant leap forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially did not support the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches. With no official release date yet announced by Konami for Silent Hill f, there remains ample opportunity for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on the game's Steam store page last month. These specs provide a glimpse into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below is a detailed breakdown of the game's minimum and recommended system requirements.

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is needed to run the game at 720p resolution with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a performance dip compared to these minimum PC requirements. While playing at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be feasible, connecting the device to an HD TV could highlight these differences. Konami also recommends using an SSD for better performance.

The recommended specs offer players a choice between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both requiring an SSD.

The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with insights into what to anticipate from Silent Hill f. The game is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
