Is Silent Hill: Townfall Steam Deck compatible?

No, by Valve’s own rating: Unsupported, with graphics performance as the reason. One outlet’s earlier handheld test had called it borderline, so the two now point the same way.

How to read: the solid box is Valve’s own field. The dashed box is an outlet’s test and sits below the wall because it cannot move the field above it. Original diagram for this site.

Who says what

First-party

Valve: Unsupported

Valve’s compatibility report for the game now returns category 1, Unsupported, and its one listed result is unsupported graphics performance. Before release the same report returned category 0, no rating at all.

Read from Steam Deck compatibility report

One outlet

Steam Deck HQ: borderline

The site reports about 30 FPS on low settings with TSR or FSR in a performance mode, and drops toward the 10 FPS range while moving and turning. It scores the game 3 out of 5. Only Steam Deck HQ says this, and it is the site’s own test. AllKeyShop refers only to reports of issues, with no detail.

Reported by Steam Deck HQ review

What nobody has shown

  • A second outlet’s own handheld test.
  • A statement about Steam Deck from Konami, Annapurna or Screen Burn.
  • A date for the Steam performance patch that might move Valve’s rating.

Where the 30 comes from

How to read: every mark is a number a source states; nothing was measured here. The two Steam PC notes are targets for PC hardware and say nothing about a handheld. Original diagram for this site.

Steam Deck HQ’s typical reading lands on the same 30 that Steam’s PC notes target at both tiers, which is a coincidence of numbers and not a rating: the PC notes are about desktop hardware, and a Deck verdict is Valve’s to give. The PC numbers themselves, including the memory and storage a PC needs, are on the system requirements page.

What would change this page

A new Valve category on the Steam page. Konami has said a patch for the Steam version’s performance is being made, and what players are doing about stutter and crashes in the meantime is on the PC performance page. Until the rating moves, the answer is Unsupported. Steam’s own listing, including controller support, is on the PC page, and the other platform rows sit on the platforms board.
