Konami has revealed all the details about Silent Hill F, a new entrance to the iconic psychological horror franchise.

The game takes place in an unprecedented scenario with strong Japanese inspiration and bets on intense narrative and disturbing atmosphere. Pre-sale is already open and ensures special rewards for first buyers. In addition, the game promises good performance even in laptops like Steam Deck and the like.
Unprecedented environment and narrative focus
Silent Hill F will be the first title of the franchise set in Rural Japan, with an atmosphere marked by local legends, visual decay and grotesque floral elements. The protagonist Hinako faces a distorted reality in which the past and the supernatural intertwine amid isolation.
The project brings new creative collaborators, including Ryūkishi07, author known as Horror Visual Novels as Higurashi . The writer's involvement suggests that the focus will be less in action and more in the construction of suspense and narrative. This repositioning seeks to renew the saga's appeal with a more dense and dramatic approach.
Confirmed platforms and notable absences
Silent Hill F will be released exclusively for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The absence of previous generation console versions, such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, marks a focus change to the current hardware. Nintendo was also left out, even with the Switch 2 announcement.
The exclusion of the new Nintendo console raises questions about technical limitations or strategic decisions. However, developers have optimized the game to run well on laptops such as Steam Deck and Asus Rog Ally, ensuring a quality portable experience even for the most demanding players.
System Requirements and PC Performance
Konami has released the official requirements to run Silent Hill F on the PC. For the minimum, the game calls for an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, 16 GB of RAM and a GTX 1070 Ti or RX 5700 graphics card. The expected performance is 30 fps in 720p resolution with basic settings.
The recommended configuration requires an Intel Core I7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500, keeping the 16 GB of RAM, with GPU equivalent to an RTX 2080 or RX 6800XT. With these specifications, you can play Full HD with 60 FPS or 4K using technologies like DLSS. However, in both cases, the use of SSD is strongly recommended.
Digital editions and additional content
Silent Hill F will be sold in two versions: Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. The first includes only the base game, while the second adds extra digital content. In addition, among them are the soundtrack with Japanese songs, a digital artbook and a theme skin called Pink Rabbit, which changes the look of the protagonist.
These extras do not influence the progress of the game, but serve to deepen immersion and offer aesthetic personalization. Players access the additional material within the game by visiting a Hokora, a type of sanctuary that acts as an interaction point to unlock bonuses and costumes.
Pre-sale bonus and exclusive items
Anyone who purchases the game in pre-sale receives three exclusive bonuses. The first is a white school uniform for the protagonist. The second item is Omamori Peony, a symbolic amulet that players can equip during the gameplay. The third is a package of items with utilities such as divine water, food and first aid kit.
These bonuses are available in any edition purchased before release. Players rescue these items on the game's reward menu, which progressively release themselves as they advance in the story. Although not determinant, items offer specific advantages at the beginning of the campaign.
Purchase process on the main platforms
Silent Hill F pre-sale is already active in official stores. On PC, players can get the game by Steam. Just go to the official page, add to the cart and complete the payment. The version will be available for automatic download on the release date.
In Xbox, the process follows standard: access the store, search the title and finalize the purchase. In PlayStation 5, the acquisition is made directly through the PS Store, with the installation starting automatically when the game is released. The Deluxe version is also available on all these platforms.
