"Silent Hill f Compatible with Steam Deck, Yet to Be Verified"

The highly anticipated Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, but it will require some fine-tuning from players. Dive into the specifics of Valve's Steam Deck classification for Silent Hill f and get a glimpse of the game's PC requirements to understand its compatibility with the handheld device.

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 indeed playable on the Steam Deck. However, the game falls short of the "verified" status due to the need for some manual configuration to achieve full compatibility. To earn the "verified" badge, a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve's stringent criteria for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

The testing results indicate that Silent Hill f is fully accessible using the default controller configuration on the Steam Deck, complete with appropriate controller icons. Yet, some in-game text may be too small to read comfortably. Players will need to manually tweak settings 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 remained unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. As Silent Hill f does not yet have an official release date from Konami, there's still an opportunity for further optimization by the developers.

PC System Requirements

Last month, Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page. These details help gauge how the game will perform on the Steam Deck. Below are the minimum and recommended specs for the game:

For the minimum specs, the game requires an NVIDIA GTX 1070 to run at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU capabilities, players can anticipate a slight downgrade from these minimum requirements. While playing at 720p on the Steam Deck might still be acceptable, the difference becomes more noticeable when the device is connected to an HD TV. Konami also recommends using an SSD for improved performance.

For the recommended specs, players can opt for Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both requiring an SSD.
