If you’re a fan of Silent Hill 2 but you’ve moved to Xbox since the PS2 days, you’ll have to wait a full year for it to be released on a PS5 competitor.
The release of Bloober Team’s remastered version of Silent Hill 2 isn’t too far away, but much like the original version of the game, when it launches it will be a PS5 console exclusive (PC players can play it anytime). The Silent Hill series definitely feels more like it launched on the PlayStation, as the first game launched on the PS1, although it did come to various Xbox consoles in the following years – including Silent Ridge 2″, which later came to the original Xbox, was subtitled “The Fear Within.”

But like many third-party PlayStation exclusives these days, Sony appears to have only purchased the exclusivity rights for a year or so, and as noted in the game’s recent trailer, Silent Hill 2 Remastered “isn’t available on other formats.” Available until October 8, 2025.

As a reminder, October 8, 2024 is the release date of the Silent Hill 2 remake, so the exclusivity period is exactly one year. Considering the remaster will be coming to PC at launch, these “other formats” obviously refer to Xbox. Technically, this also doesn’t confirm that the game will be coming to Xbox a full year after it launched on PlayStation. It seems like these announcements usually come shortly after exclusivity deals expire, but considering one of Bloober Team’s more The most recent game in terms of content, The Medium, is an Xbox Series X/S exclusive (if only for a few months), and it’s a safe bet that it will eventually launch.
Our very own Kelsey got on board with the remake last month and, to their own surprise, actually felt like it was really, really good after watching it.
