"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Awaiting Full Verification"

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's thorough testing has confirmed that Silent Hill f can indeed be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status due to the need for manual configuration. To earn the "verified" label, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent tests for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

While Silent Hill f does support the default controller configuration and displays the Steam Deck controller icons, some in-game text may be challenging to read due to its small size. Moreover, to ensure a smooth experience, players will need to manually adjust settings. This is a step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at enhancing compatibility. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, there's still ample time for Konami to refine its performance on the Steam Deck.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, shedding light on how it might perform on the Steam Deck. Below is a detailed breakdown of the game's minimum and recommended specifications:

The minimum specs include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, which runs the game at 720p resolution and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, you might experience a slight downgrade from these minimum requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too noticeable, those who connect their device to HD TVs may observe a difference. Konami also recommends using an SSD for improved performance.

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

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