"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Awaiting Full Verification"

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, although it will require some configuration to achieve optimal performance. Dive into the details of Valve's Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and explore the game's PC requirements to understand what you can expect.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's official testing results have confirmed that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" because it requires some manual configuration to ensure full compatibility with the handheld device. To achieve "verified" status, a game must be completely functional with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing shows that Silent Hill f retains full functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons. However, some in-game text may be small and hard to read. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to enhance the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward, especially when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at improving its compatibility. With no official release date announced for Silent Hill f yet, there is still ample opportunity for Konami to refine and optimize the game further.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, offering insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below is a detailed breakdown of the game’s minimum and recommended system specifications.

The minimum specs include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, which supports the game at 720p resolution with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck’s GPU capabilities, players can anticipate a slight downgrade from these minimum PC requirements. While playing at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be as problematic, the difference could be more noticeable when the device is connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for the best performance.

The recommended specs allow players to choose between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, with an SSD being a requirement for these options.

The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with more details on what to expect from the game. Silent Hill f is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
