Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some tweaking. Dive deeper to understand Valve’s Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and explore the game's PC requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's official testing reveals that Silent Hill f can indeed be played on the Steam Deck. However, it doesn't achieve "verified" status due to the need for certain configurations to ensure full compatibility with the handheld. A "verified" label means the game works seamlessly with the device's controls and display, passing Valve’s rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

According to the test results, Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck retains full functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons. Nonetheless, some in-game text might be too small and hard to read. Additionally, the game needs manual adjustments to run smoothly on the Steam Deck.

This marks a significant step forward, especially when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. With no official release date yet announced by Konami for Silent Hill f, there's still ample time for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam page, providing insight into its performance on the Steam Deck. Below are the detailed minimum and recommended specifications.

The minimum specs, featuring an NVIDIA GTX 1070, support the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck’s GPU, players might notice a performance dip compared to these minimum PC requirements. While 720p on the Steam Deck might still be acceptable, connecting the device to an HD TV could highlight this difference. Konami recommends using an SSD for optimal performance.

For the recommended specs, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both requiring 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.
