"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 official testing confirms that Silent Hill f can be played on the Steam Deck, though it falls short of being "verified." To achieve "verified" status, a game must be fully compatible with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

Silent Hill f, while accessible with the default controller configuration and displaying the Steam Deck controller icons, presents some challenges. The in-game text may appear too small to read comfortably, and manual configuration is necessary for optimal performance. This marks a significant step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, there's still an opportunity for Konami to refine the game's compatibility.

PC System Requirements

Konami has shared the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, offering insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the minimum and recommended specifications:

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is required to run the game at 720p with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU capabilities, players might experience a performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be feasible, the difference could be more noticeable if connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for the best experience.

The recommended specs allow players to choose between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, with an SSD being a requirement for these settings.

The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse of what to expect from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Keep an eye out for updates on the release date by following our coverage below!
