Silent Hill 2 remake for Xbox looks imminent, as the store page is here — with Xbox Play Anywhere support, too

by

Good news for Xbox fans waiting to play the Silent Hill 2 remake! The game is now available for purchase on the Xbox Australia webpage, even though an official announcement hasn’t been made yet. It’s currently on sale for $50 AUD (normally $100 AUD).

The remake originally launched on PlayStation 5 and PC in October 2024 and was initially a timed exclusive. This meant it couldn’t come to other platforms for at least a year.

Because of this timed exclusivity, an Xbox version wasn’t formally announced, but it’s now clear it will be released soon. Plus, the game supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so a single purchase gives you access on both Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PC.

The team at Windows Central will continue to monitor the situation and expects a full announcement very shortly.

Silent Hill has come roaring back to life over the past year

As an analyst, I’ve been closely watching the resurgence of the Silent Hill franchise after a long period of inactivity following the cancellation of Silent Hills. It’s been quite a comeback! The remake of Silent Hill 2 has performed very well, exceeding 2 million copies sold as of January 2025 and receiving positive reviews. But the biggest surprise has been the launch of Silent Hill f, an entirely new entry developed by NeoBards Entertainment. Set in 1960s Japan, it follows a young girl navigating a terrifying, fog-laden town, and it quickly became the fastest-selling game in the series, surpassing even the Silent Hill 2 remake with over a million copies sold in just one day.

Looking ahead, the future is bright. Bloober Team, who did a fantastic job with the Silent Hill 2 remake, is now tackling the original Silent Hill. Konami is also collaborating with Annapurna Interactive on Silent Hill: Townfall, developed by the team behind Stories Untold and Observation. And while we may never see Silent Hills realized, Hideo Kojima is returning to horror with OD, a new project in partnership with Xbox Game Studios. OD is an episodic horror experience, and it’s already generating a lot of buzz, especially because Kojima is directing the first episode, titled “Knock,” and is bringing in directors like Jordan Peele. From what we’ve seen, OD is heavily inspired by the ideas Kojima originally explored with the P.T. demo – it’s clear he’s revisiting that vision.
