Silent Hill f is set to be playable on the Steam Deck, but it will require some manual configuration to achieve optimal performance. Valve's official testing has determined that while the game can be enjoyed on the handheld device, it falls short of being fully "verified" due to certain compatibility issues. To be considered "verified," a game must seamlessly integrate with the Steam Deck's controls and display, passing Valve’s stringent checks for input, display, seamlessness, and system support.

According to the testing results, Silent Hill f on the Steam Deck offers full functionality with the default controller configuration and displays the appropriate Steam Deck controller icons. However, some in-game text may appear small and difficult to read, and manual adjustments are necessary to ensure smooth gameplay. This represents a significant improvement over the Silent Hill 2 Remake, which remains unsupported on the Steam Deck despite efforts to enhance its compatibility. With no official release date announced yet for Silent Hill f, Konami has ample opportunity to further refine the game's performance on the Steam Deck.

PC System Requirements

Konami unveiled the PC system requirements for Silent Hill f on its Steam store page last month, providing insights into how the game might perform on the Steam Deck. The minimum specifications include an NVIDIA GTX 1070, which supports gameplay at 720p and 30fps on Performance Quality settings. Given the Steam Deck's GPU capabilities, players may experience a slight downgrade from these minimum requirements. While running the game at 720p on the Steam Deck might not be too taxing, connecting the device to an HD TV could highlight these differences. Konami also recommends using an SSD for optimal performance.

For those looking to achieve recommended performance, players can opt for either Performance settings at 60fps or Quality settings at 30fps, both of which require an SSD. The latest Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 offered a glimpse into what fans can expect from the game. Silent Hill f is now available for wishlisting on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, though no specific release date has been announced.
