"Silent Hill f: Steam Deck Compatible, Yet to Be Verified"

Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, but it will require some adjustments from players. Let's delve into 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

Valve's official testing confirms that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck, though it doesn't earn the "verified" label. To achieve "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck’s controls and display, passing Valve's rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

Silent Hill f meets most criteria, with all functionalities accessible using the default controller configuration and displaying Steam Deck controller icons. However, some in-game text may be too small to read comfortably. Additionally, manual configuration is needed for optimal performance on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. Konami has not yet disclosed an official release date for Silent Hill f, leaving room for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month. These specifications provide insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the minimum and recommended specs for Silent Hill f:

• Minimum Specs: An NVIDIA GTX 1070 is required to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight downgrade in performance compared to these minimum requirements. While 720p gameplay on the Steam Deck may be acceptable, connecting to an HD TV could highlight these differences. Konami recommends using an SSD for better performance.

• Recommended Specs: Players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps. An SSD is essential for these settings to ensure smooth gameplay.

The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided a glimpse into what players can expect from Silent Hill f. The game is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Although no specific release date has been announced, you can stay informed by following our updates below!
