Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, but it will require some configuration to ensure optimal performance. Dive deeper to understand Valve's classification for Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck and 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 can be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status because some adjustments are necessary for full compatibility with the handheld. To achieve "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the device'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 is fully accessible with the default controller configuration, complete with Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, the game faces challenges with in-game text that can be too small and hard to read. Additionally, manual tweaks are needed to ensure the game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches. As Konami has not yet set an official release date for Silent Hill f, there remains ample time for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC 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. Here are the minimum and recommended system requirements for Silent Hill f:

For the minimum specs, the NVIDIA GTX 1070 is needed to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players should anticipate a performance dip compared to these minimum PC requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too problematic, connecting it to an HD TV could reveal these limitations. 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.

During the latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13, fans got a glimpse of what Silent Hill f has in store. The game is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
