Silent Hill 2 Has Been Massively Successful on PS5, PC | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Konami has announced that digital sales and physical shipments of Silent Hill 2 have now topped two million units, making the survival horror remake a big success.

The game – brilliantly developed by Bloober Team – launched as a PS5 console exclusive, so these numbers also include PC purchases as well. They’re accurate as of 23rd January, 2025, meaning they represent a little over three months of sales, as the title launched on 8th October, 2024.

We loved this pitch-perfect remake, describing it as a “horror great” in our review and voting it sixth in our Game of the Year countdown.

“There were concerns in the lead-up to release, but Silent Hill 2 speaks for itself: a spectacular experience that once again represents survival horror at its best,” we wrote.

Finally got around to playing it throughout January. My first Silent Hill and I loved it. The original is held aloft as a sacred cow so remaking it was no easy feat. Bloober Team did an excellent job preserving Team Silent’s secret sauce, modernising the recipe where necessary and putting their own stamp on it. The success is well earned and hopefully bodes well for Silent Hill and other Konami IP. Enemy variety could have been greater but I’ll live.

2 millions in 3 months with only PS5 & PC means not just SH 2 remake is a solid remake but it shows how Silent Hill brand is alive and kicking. I hope SH f and the 3rd live act movie can continue this positive momentum.

I'm happy for the devs. There's been a lot of doubts about SH2 Remake before the release and when it did, there's a lot of positive reception to it ever since which is amazing.
