Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some adjustments to ensure optimal performance. 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 has confirmed that Silent Hill f can be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" due to the need for some manual configurations to achieve full compatibility with the handheld device. To earn the "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's rigorous checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.
The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck is fully functional with the default controller configuration and displays the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. Yet, some in-game text may appear too small and hard to read. Additionally, manual tweaks are necessary to optimize the game's 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 enhancing its compatibility. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, Konami has the opportunity to further refine its performance.
PC System Requirements
Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month, 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.
The minimum specs include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, which supports 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 might still be manageable, the difference could be more pronounced when connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for better performance.
For the recommended specs, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.
The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered fans a glimpse into what Silent Hill f has in store. The game is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
