Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some adjustments. Dive into the details of Valve’s classification for Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck, along with the game's PC system requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's official testing confirms 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. To achieve "verified" status, a game must be seamlessly functional with the device's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The game supports all functionalities with the default controller configuration and displays Steam Deck controller icons. However, the in-game text may appear small and hard to read, necessitating adjustments for optimal gameplay on the Steam Deck. This represents a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which remains unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. As Konami has not yet announced an official release date for Silent Hill f, there is still time for further optimizations.

PC System Requirements

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

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is required to run the game at 720p resolution with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU capabilities, players might experience a slight performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck could still be manageable, connecting to an HD TV might reveal these differences more prominently. Konami also recommends using an SSD.

For the recommended specs, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.

The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided a glimpse into what fans can expect from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
