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 being "verified" because it needs some configuration to ensure full compatibility with the device. To earn the "verified" badge, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

Silent Hill f, when played on the Steam Deck, offers complete functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the correct Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text may appear small and hard to read. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to optimize performance on the Steam Deck.

This represents a significant step forward, especially when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at improving compatibility. With no official release date set for Silent Hill f, there's still ample opportunity for Konami to refine the game's performance.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC 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 detailed breakdown of the game's minimum and recommended specifications.

For the minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 is needed to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck’s GPU, you might experience a slight downgrade from these minimum PC requirements. Playing at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too detrimental, but if you connect your device to an HD TV, the difference could be more noticeable. Konami also recommends using an SSD for better performance.

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

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