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

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some tweaks to ensure optimal performance. Dive into the details about Valve’s Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and 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 can indeed be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" because it needs some manual adjustments to run smoothly on the handheld device. For a game to be "verified," it must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck retains full functionality with the default controller setup and correctly displays Steam Deck controller icons. Nonetheless, some in-game text may be too small to read comfortably, and players will need to tweak settings to enhance performance on the device.

This marks a significant step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially received an "unsupported" label for the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at improving compatibility. Konami has not yet disclosed an official release date for Silent Hill f, leaving room for further optimization by the developers.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, offering insights into its compatibility with the Steam Deck. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the game's minimum and recommended 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 capabilities, players might experience a slight downgrade compared to these minimum PC requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be acceptable, the difference could become more apparent when the device is connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for optimal performance.

The recommended specs allow players to opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both requiring an SSD.

During the latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13, fans gained further insight into what to anticipate from the game. Silent Hill f is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
