Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, though it will require some configuration to ensure a seamless gaming experience. Delve into 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 indicates that Silent Hill f can be played on the Steam Deck. However, it falls short of being "verified" due to the need for specific configurations to ensure full compatibility with the handheld device. To achieve "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s rigorous tests for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.
The testing results reveal that Silent Hill f is fully accessible with the default controller configuration on the Steam Deck, complete with the device's controller icons. Yet, players might encounter challenges with small in-game text, which could be difficult to read. Additionally, manual adjustments are necessary to optimize performance on the Steam Deck.
This represents a significant step forward when compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite subsequent patches aimed at enhancing its compatibility. As Konami has not yet announced an official release date for Silent Hill f, there remains ample opportunity for further optimization.
PC System Requirements
Last month, Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, offering insight into its performance on the Steam Deck. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the game’s minimum and recommended specifications.
The minimum specs require an NVIDIA GTX 1070 to run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck’s GPU, users can anticipate a performance slightly below these minimum PC requirements. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be a significant issue, those connecting their device to an HD TV may notice the difference. It's also noteworthy that Konami recommends using an SSD.
For the recommended specs, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which necessitate an SSD.
The most recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 provided fans with a glimpse of what to expect from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
