Silent Hill f is set to offer an engaging experience on the Steam Deck, though it will require some configuration to run smoothly. Dive into Valve’s detailed classification for Silent Hill f and explore the game's PC requirements to understand its compatibility with the Steam Deck.
Silent Hill f Official Testing Results For Steam Deck Released
Playable But Requires Configuration
Valve's official testing results confirm that Silent Hill f is playable on the Steam Deck, though it falls short of being "verified." To achieve the "verified" status, a game must seamlessly integrate with the device’s controls and display, passing Valve's stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support. Silent Hill f, while accessible with the default controller configuration and displaying Steam Deck controller icons, has some small in-game text that may be challenging to read. Furthermore, to ensure optimal performance, manual configuration is necessary.
This represents a significant step forward compared to the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which was initially unsupported on the Steam Deck despite later patches aimed at enhancing its compatibility. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, Konami has the opportunity to continue optimizing the game for the Steam Deck.
PC System Requirements
Last month, Konami unveiled the PC requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page, providing insights into its performance on the Steam Deck. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the game’s minimum and recommended system specifications:
The minimum requirements suggest that an NVIDIA GTX 1070 can run the game at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU, players might experience a slight downgrade from these minimum PC specs. While running at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be acceptable, connecting the device to an HD TV could highlight these differences. Additionally, Konami recommends using an SSD for the best experience.
For those aiming for the recommended specs, options include 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 will bring. The game is currently available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
