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

Silent Hill f is set to offer a thrilling experience on the Steam Deck, though it will require some fine-tuning to reach optimal performance. Dive into the details of Valve’s Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f, along with the game's PC requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's rigorous testing confirms that Silent Hill f is indeed playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status due to the need for some configurations to ensure full compatibility with the handheld console. To achieve the "verified" label, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s comprehensive checks on input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f is fully functional on the Steam Deck with the default controller setup, displaying the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. Nonetheless, some in-game text may be too small to read comfortably. Players will need to manually adjust settings to optimize the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially did not support the Steam Deck, even after subsequent patches. As Konami has not yet announced an official release date for Silent Hill f, there remains ample opportunity for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

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

The minimum specs include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, which can run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck’s GPU, players can anticipate a performance slightly below these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be acceptable, the difference could become more pronounced when using the device with an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for the best experience.

For the recommended specs, players have the option to run the game at either 60fps on Performance settings or 30fps on Quality settings, both of which require an SSD.

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