"Silent Hill f: Steam Deck Compatible, Yet Unverified"

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, but it will require some fine-tuning to ensure an optimal gaming experience. Dive deeper to understand Valve's classification of Silent Hill f for 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 thorough testing has determined that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status due to the need for some manual configurations to achieve full compatibility with the handheld device. To earn the "verified" badge, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f is fully accessible using the Steam Deck's default controller configuration and displays the appropriate controller icons. Yet, players may encounter small in-game text that could be challenging to read. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to optimize the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

This marks a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at enhancing its compatibility. As Konami has yet to reveal an official release date for Silent Hill f, there is still ample time for the developers to refine 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 insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the detailed minimum and recommended specifications for the game.

For the minimum specs, the NVIDIA GTX 1070 allows for gameplay at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a performance dip compared to these minimum PC requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too detrimental, the difference could be more noticeable when the device is connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD.

The recommended specs offer a choice between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.

The most recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered a glimpse into what players can expect from the game. Silent Hill f is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
