'Silent Hill 2 Remake' Sells More Than Five Million Copies

Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds.

Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: SILENT HILL.

There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her...

"My name...is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her.

A remake of the 2001 horror classic, Silent Hill 2 is coming to PS5 and PC, developed by Bloober Team, composer Akira Yamaoka and artist Masahiro Ito, the unsettling town shrouded in the brooding fog will be remade with enhanced visuals, sounds and gameplay. 

Reaching one million sales in its first 3 days, 2 million after 3 months, Konami announced that Silent Hill 2 Remake has surpassed five million cumulative players worldwide as of January 31, 2026.

This figure reflects digital and physical sales, store downloads and subscription services across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

To celebrate this special milestone, KONAMI announced the start of its SPRING SALE, offering discounts on select titles from the acclaimed SILENT HILL series on the PlayStation™ Store, including:

  • SILENT HILL f Deluxe Edition – 50% off
  • SILENT HILL 2 Deluxe Edition – 50% off
  • SILENT HILL 2 & SILENT HILL f Dual Pack 
    • Standard Edition – 40% off
    • Deluxe Edition – 40% off

In addition, KONAMI announced that the SILENT HILL 2 & SILENT HILL f Dual Pack is now available on XBOX Series X|S. The KONAMI SPRING SALE gives players the perfect opportunity to revisit the iconic series or experience its latest chapter at a reduced price.

With the possibilities of the Unreal Engine 5, the developer are bringing the foggy, sinister town to life in ways that were impossible up to this point. The game will delight players visually, auditorily, and sensorily.

Some of the Unreal Engine 5 features that really shine are Lumen and Nanite. With them we’re raising the graphics to new, highly-detailed and realistic levels, while turning the game’s signature nerve-racking atmosphere to eleven. Lumen is a fully dynamic global illumination solution that immediately reacts to scene and light changes. It means that the light interacts with the environment realistically, just like in the real world. The whole game environment is lit more naturally this way. The Nanite technology, on the other hand, is an amazing tool for level designers. With it, they can create incredibly detailed worlds and more realistic environments that look and feel almost lifelike.

It’s not only graphics, though. A lot of Silent Hill’s disturbing atmosphere comes from music and sound design. Thanks to the game’s 3D audio capabilities, players will be able to determine the exact direction where the sound is coming from. The WWise sound engine creates a realistic and believable soundscape that helps players feel like they are truly inside the game.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
