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

Silent Hill f is set to enhance your gaming experience on the Steam Deck, though it will require a bit of tweaking to achieve optimal performance. Dive into Valve’s detailed assessment of Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck and explore the game's PC system requirements to see how it measures up.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

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

The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck allows access to all functionalities with the default controller setup and displays the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. However, players should be aware that some in-game text may appear small and hard to read. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to optimize the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

This is a significant leap forward when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at improving its compatibility. As Konami has not yet announced an official release date for Silent Hill f, there is still ample opportunity for the developers to refine and enhance its performance on the Steam Deck.

PC System Requirements

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

The minimum specs require an NVIDIA GTX 1070 to 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 the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might be manageable, those who connect their device to an HD TV may notice a more significant impact. Konami also recommends using an SSD for smoother gameplay.

For the recommended specs, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, with an SSD being a mandatory requirement for these configurations.

The most recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse of what to anticipate from the game. Silent Hill f is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, though no specific release date has been announced.
