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

Silent Hill f is poised to be an exciting addition to the Steam Deck library, though it currently requires some fine-tuning to run smoothly. Dive into the details of Valve's classification for Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck and explore the game's PC system requirements.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's thorough testing has confirmed that Silent Hill f is indeed playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status, necessitating some manual adjustments to ensure optimal compatibility with the handheld console. A game earns the "verified" badge when it flawlessly integrates with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing stringent tests on input responsiveness, display clarity, overall user experience, and system compatibility.

Silent Hill f supports the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons, ensuring all functionalities are accessible. Yet, players might find some in-game text a bit too small to read comfortably. Moreover, achieving peak performance on the Steam Deck will require some tweaks from the user.

This represents a significant step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially lacked support for the Steam Deck, even after receiving patches aimed at enhancing its compatibility. With no official release date set by Konami for Silent Hill f, there's still ample opportunity for the developers to refine and optimize the game for the Steam Deck.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f last month on its Steam store page, providing insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the game’s minimum and recommended specifications.

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is needed to run the game at 720p resolution and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be manageable, the difference could become more apparent when the device is connected to an HD TV. Additionally, Konami recommends using an SSD for a smoother experience.

On the recommended specs front, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, with an SSD being a mandatory requirement for these settings.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered fans a glimpse into what Silent Hill f has in store. The game is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
