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

Silent Hill f is set to offer an immersive experience on the Steam Deck, though it will require some fine-tuning to reach its full potential. Dive into the details about Valve's Steam Deck compatibility rating for Silent Hill f, and discover the game's PC requirements.

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, though it falls short of the "verified" status. To achieve "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck’s controls and display, passing Valve’s rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support. Silent Hill f meets most of these criteria; it's fully accessible with the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons. However, the game faces some challenges: in-game text can be small and hard to read, and manual configuration is needed to optimize performance on the device.

This represents a significant step forward when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck, even after receiving patches to enhance its compatibility. With no official release date announced for Silent Hill f yet, there's still ample time for Konami to refine the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month, providing insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the minimum and recommended specifications:

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is required to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players should expect some performance adjustments compared to these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be a significant issue, those who connect their device to an HD TV may notice a difference. Konami also recommends using an SSD.

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

The 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.
