New Silent Hill 2 Update Live, Here’s What It Does

As a longtime fan of the Silent Hill series, I must say that the recent update for the Silent Hill 2 Remake has truly been a breath of fresh air. Having played through the original game multiple times and being somewhat critical of the remake’s initial release, I can appreciate the effort that Bloober Team has put into addressing player concerns.


A highly anticipated remake of the popular horror game, “Silent Hill 2 Remake“, is receiving an upgrade across all platforms today. This update focuses on refining certain gameplay elements and addressing issues related to Non-Player Characters (NPCs).

The 2001 Konami horror classic, Silent Hill 2 Remake, created quite a stir upon its release in October. Initially, some fans were skeptical about several aspects of the game, including combat mechanics, character designs, and weather effects. However, despite these minor concerns, the remake was warmly received and it was up to the development team, primarily Bloober Team (known for games like Layers of Fear and The Medium), to preserve its legacy. As the launch date neared, necessary adjustments were made, and the game became a favorite among fans and critics alike, even earning praise from ComicBook. Although updates are always appreciated, the improvements made today will undoubtedly be welcomed by all.

On the official Silent Hill Twitter or X, they shared details about Update 1.06. This update includes enhancements for the PlayStation 5 Pro edition, promising improved performance and graphics. Additionally, the Steam version will receive similar fixes as the PlayStation 5 players, but with a focus on resolving controller issues.
