"Silent Hill f: Steam Deck Compatible, Yet Unverified"

If you're excited about diving into the eerie world of Silent Hill f on your Steam Deck, you'll be pleased to know that it's playable, though not quite "verified" by Valve. This means you'll need to tweak some settings to get the best experience out of this haunting game on your handheld device. Valve's rigorous testing has shown that while Silent Hill f can be enjoyed on the Steam Deck, it requires some manual configuration to ensure smooth gameplay. Key aspects like controller functionality and icon display are supported, but you might find some in-game text a bit tricky to read due to its size. This is a step up from the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially didn't support the Steam Deck at all.

Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released

Playable But Requires Configuration

Valve's official testing indicates that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck but falls short of being "verified." To achieve "verified" status, a game must be fully compatible with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing all of Valve's checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support. While Silent Hill f supports the default controller configuration and displays Steam Deck controller icons, the in-game text might be too small for some players. Manual adjustments are necessary for optimal performance. Given that Konami has not yet set an official release date for Silent Hill f, there's still time for further optimization.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on the Steam store page last month. These specs provide insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. The minimum specs require an NVIDIA GTX 1070 to run the game at 720p with 30fps on Performance Quality settings. On the Steam Deck, you might notice a slight downgrade in performance, especially if you're playing on a larger screen like an HD TV. Konami recommends using an SSD for the best experience. For recommended specs, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which necessitate an SSD.

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