"Silent Hill f: Steam Deck Compatible, Yet to be Verified"

Silent Hill f will be playable on Steam Deck, but it requires some configuration to ensure optimal performance. Dive into Valve’s Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and explore the game's PC requirements for a better understanding.

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 adjustments to achieve full compatibility with the handheld device. To earn the "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

According to the test results, Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck offers full functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text appears small, potentially making it challenging to read. Additionally, manual tweaks are necessary for optimal performance on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward from the experience with the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches. With no official release date yet announced for Silent Hill f, there's still ample time for Konami to refine its compatibility.

PC System Requirements

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

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 can run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might notice a slight downgrade from these minimum requirements. Running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck could be manageable, but the difference might be more apparent when connecting to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for better performance.

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

The most recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered fans a glimpse into what Silent Hill f has in store. The game is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
