Silent Hill 2 Remake PC Requirements Revealed

gamerant.com:

The PC requirements for the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 have been released, and it looks as though a fairly decent setup will be required to meet the recommended specs. As one of the most influential horror series in all of gaming, Silent Hill has been lying dormant for far too long, with fans hoping for a revival, a new entry, or some sort of official remake. Finally, Konami has announced that it will be doing all three..

Konami recently unveiled a bunch of Silent Hill projects in the works, including the aforementioned remake of the second installment, which many consider to be the strongest entry in the whole franchise. It was also revealed that Bloober Team, responsible for the horror hits The Medium and Layers of Fear, will be at the helm. And while the game will be a PS5 console exclusive, it will be available on PC as well.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Finally Announced as PS5 Exclusive

For those who are interested in playing the Silent Hill 2 remake on PC, the game's Steam page shows the specifications, though there may be a little bit of controversy about one aspect. In terms of minimum requirements — 12 GB of RAM, an Intel i5, and Nvidia GTX 1080 or AMD equivalent — suggest it shouldn't require too much juice to run the game. But as for the recommended specs, players should have an RTX 2080 or AMD 6800 XT in their system at the very least. However, on top of that, the spec sheet also says that Windows 11 is recommended. Considering that most people are still running Windows 10, this could be an issue for those who want the best experience from the game.

Whether this will change or not cannot be said at this stage. As for the rest of the recent announcements, many horror fans probably feel quite vindicated after all
