"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Yet to be Verified"

Silent Hill f, the latest installment in the iconic horror series, has been confirmed as playable on the Steam Deck, albeit with some required configurations. Valve's official testing results indicate that while the game is not fully "verified" for the handheld device, it remains accessible with adjustments. To be considered "verified," a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's stringent checks for input, display, and system support.

According to Valve's findings, Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck supports all functionalities using the default controller configuration and displays the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. However, some in-game text may be challenging to read due to its size. Players will need to manually tweak settings to ensure optimal performance on the Steam Deck. This represents a significant step forward from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially did not support the Steam Deck. With no official release date yet announced for Silent Hill f, there is still ample time for Konami to refine its compatibility.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on the game's Steam store page last month. These specifications provide insight into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the minimum and recommended system requirements for Silent Hill f:

For minimum specs, an NVIDIA GTX 1070 can run the game at 720p with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight downgrade compared to these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be manageable, those using an HD TV might notice the difference. Konami recommends using an SSD for better performance.

For recommended specs, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.

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