Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some configuration to ensure optimal performance. Delve deeper into Valve's classification of Silent Hill f for the Steam Deck, as well as the game's PC requirements, to understand what players can expect.
Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released
Playable But Requires Configuration
Valve's official testing has determined that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck, though it falls short of being "verified." This status indicates that while the game can be enjoyed on the device, some manual adjustments are necessary for full compatibility. To achieve "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, meeting Valve's stringent criteria for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.
The testing reveals that Silent Hill f is fully accessible using the default controller configuration and displays Steam Deck controller icons. However, readability may be an issue due to small in-game text. Furthermore, to ensure optimal performance, manual configuration is required. This marks a significant enhancement compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which initially lacked Steam Deck support despite subsequent patches aimed at improving the experience. As Konami has not yet announced an official release date for Silent Hill f, there remains ample time for further optimization.
PC System Requirements
Konami disclosed the PC 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 are the detailed minimum and recommended specifications:
The minimum specs, featuring an NVIDIA GTX 1070, allow the game to run at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a performance dip compared to these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might be acceptable, connecting to an HD TV could reveal these limitations more clearly. Konami recommends using an SSD for improved performance.
The recommended specs offer players a choice between Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD.
During the latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13, fans received a glimpse of what to anticipate from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, though a specific release date remains undisclosed.
