To run Silent Hill: Townfall on PC at minimum settings you need Windows 11, a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i7-8700K, 16 GB of RAM and an RTX 2060 Super or RX 6600, plus 75 GB of storage. That minimum spec targets Low settings at 1080p and 30 fps, so it is a demanding game for its size; the recommended tier aims at 4K 30 fps with upscaling.
Update, October 22, 2026: the performance patch Konami promised at launch has shipped. Patch 1.3.1 (September 30) reduced gameplay stuttering caused by shader precompilation on Steam and Epic, and Patch 1.4.0 (October 8) “improved frame pacing and further reduced instances of streaming stutter,” along with gameplay changes. Neither changed the system requirements on the Steam page. Our patch report has the details.
All of the figures below come from the official Steam store page.
Minimum Requirements
| Component | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 64-bit |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700K |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super or AMD RX 6600 |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 75 GB |
| Target | Low settings, 1080p, 30 fps |
The Windows 11 line stands out. Most PC releases still list Windows 10, so check your OS before buying.
Recommended Requirements
| Component | Recommended |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 64-bit |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i7-9700K |
| RAM | 32 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3080 or AMD RX 7800 XT |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 75 GB |
| Target | High settings, 4K, 30 fps with DLSS, FSR or TSR on Balanced |
Note that even the recommended tier targets 30 fps at 4K. Players who want 60 fps should expect to lower resolution or lean harder on upscaling. 32 GB of RAM for the recommended tier is also higher than typical.
Steam Deck: Unsupported, and a Gamble
Valve rates Townfall Unsupported on Steam Deck, citing graphics performance, while SteamOS in general is rated Playable; both ratings still stand as of October 22, 2026, after the first two patches. Independent testing published at launch described it as borderline: capped at 30 fps on the lowest settings, with drops reported to around 10 fps in the town itself. That is playable for some people and a dealbreaker for most, and neither patch mentions Steam Deck, so we would not buy it primarily to play on Steam Deck while Valve’s rating stays Unsupported.

What Else the PC Version Supports
- Steam Cloud saves, so progress follows your account between PCs.
- DualSense support on PC, according to the Steam page, which is worth knowing because Konami built motion controls for aiming and CRTV tuning around the PlayStation controller.
- The game is on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
PC or PS5?
If your PC sits near the minimum spec, the PS5 version is the more comfortable option: reviews report a Quality mode at 30 fps and a Performance mode at 60 fps (our PS5 performance mode guide compares them), and the DualSense features are native there. There is no Xbox version; our platforms guide covers why.
