Konami has confirmed that Silent Hill f will be playable on most PCs, with system requirements that aren't too demanding.
The game shares some similarities with Silent Hill 2 Remake in terms of technical specs, but there are notable differences in how it runs. If your PC runs SH2 Remake, it's likely that Silent Hill f will run as well, though performance will depend on your settings.
The next Silent Hill game runs on Unreal Engine 5, the same one used for the remake, so the performance benchmarks feel familiar. However, the optimization choices let the game run on more hardware.
Konami has released the system requirements for Silent Hill f, outlining what players need for different visual settings.
Minimum Requirements (For 30 FPS at 720p, Performance Settings)
- OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700
- Storage: 50 GB (SSD recommended)
- DirectX: Version 12
- Sound: Windows-compatible audio device
Recommended Requirements (For 60 FPS at 1080p Performance or 30 FPS at Quality Settings)
- OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-9700 or AMD Ryzen 5 5500
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon RX 6800XT

Silent Hill f has relatively approachable specs compared to other modern horror games. However, a SSD is strongly recommended, especially for recommended settings.
The minimum requirements don't require an SSD, but choosing one will noticeably improve loading times and performance.
There is no official release date yet, but the system requirements show optimization is already happening.
As long as your PC is handling SH2 Remake well, you should be good to go for Silent Hill f when it drops.
