Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, although it will require some manual configuration. Dive into the details about Valve's Steam Deck compatibility rating for Silent Hill f, along with the game's PC system requirements.
Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released
Playable But Requires Configuration
Valve's official testing has confirmed that Silent Hill f can be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of the "verified" status because it requires some adjustments to ensure full compatibility with the handheld console. To achieve 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.
The game supports all functionalities with the default controller configuration and displays Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text appears small and may be hard to read. Additionally, manual tweaks are necessary to optimize performance on the Steam Deck.
This represents a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which remains unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. As Konami has not yet disclosed an official release date for Silent Hill f, there is still time for the developers to refine the game's performance.
PC System Requirements
Last month, Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, providing insight into its compatibility with the Steam Deck. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the game's minimum and recommended specifications.
The minimum requirements include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, enabling gameplay at 720p resolution and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, performance might be slightly compromised compared to these minimum PC specs. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too detrimental, connecting the device to an HD TV could highlight these differences. Konami also recommends using an SSD.
For the recommended specs, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps. In these cases, an SSD is mandatory.
During the latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13, fans got a glimpse of what to anticipate from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, though no specific release date has been announced.
