Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some manual configuration. Dive into the details of 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
Playable But Requires Configuration
Valve's official testing results reveal that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" because it needs some configuration to run smoothly on the handheld. To earn the "verified" status, a game must be fully compatible with the Steam Deck's controls and display, and pass Valve's stringent tests for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.
Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck can utilize the default controller configuration, displaying the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text may be 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 remained unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. As Konami has not yet revealed an official release date for Silent Hill f, there is still ample time for the developers to refine the game's performance.
PC System Requirements
Last month, Konami disclosed the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, providing insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below is a comprehensive table of the game's minimum and recommended specifications.
The minimum specs include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, enabling gameplay at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck could be acceptable, connecting to an HD TV might highlight any visual compromises. Konami also recommends using an SSD.
For the recommended specs, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which mandate an SSD.
The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered fans a glimpse into what Silent Hill f has in store. The game is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
