Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some tweaking to run smoothly. Dive deeper into Valve's classification of Silent Hill f for the Steam Deck, and explore the game's PC 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 is indeed playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" due to the need for some configurations to ensure full compatibility with the handheld. To earn the "verified" badge, a game must seamlessly integrate with the device’s controls and display, passing Valve’s rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.
According to the test results, Silent Hill f functions well with the default controller setup on the Steam Deck, displaying the device's controller icons. Yet, players may find some in-game text challenging to read due to its small size. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to optimize the game’s performance on the Steam Deck.
This marks a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially offered no support for the Steam Deck, even after patches aimed at enhancing its compatibility. With no official release date set for Silent Hill f, Konami still has the opportunity to refine and optimize the game further.
PC System Requirements
Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month, providing insights into its potential performance on the Steam Deck. Below is a detailed overview of the game's minimum and recommended system 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 capabilities, players might experience a slight downgrade from these minimum requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might be acceptable, the difference could be more noticeable when the device is connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD.
The recommended specs allow players to choose between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which necessitate an SSD.
The most recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse of what to expect from the game. Silent Hill f is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
