Silent Hill 2 remake comes to Xbox Series X|S — 50% off on Xbox & PC

Bloober Team’s full Silent Hill 2 remake is now available on Xbox Series X|S, bringing the foggy, psychological horror of James Sunderland’s journey to Microsoft consoles. To mark the release, Konami has discounted the Xbox and PC versions by 50% — a great window to play the remake if you missed the initial launch.

The 2024 remake updates the original 2001 game with modern visuals and an over‑the‑shoulder camera, while preserving the franchise’s oppressive atmosphere and unsettling design. The shift away from fixed camera angles has been controversial for purists but largely succeeds in translating Silent Hill’s mood for contemporary audiences.

Discounts and bundles

• Silent Hill 2 (Remake): 50% off on Xbox and PC stores for a limited time.
• Silent Hill f: Also discounted — roughly 30% off for Black Friday promotions.

These discounts make now a particularly good time for Xbox‑only players to pick up both the remake and this year’s new entry at reduced prices. If you prefer to buy on PC, the same 50% cut applies on Steam or other PC storefronts where Konami has listed the title.

Why it matters

The remake is notable for modernizing a classic while maintaining its psychological horror core. For Xbox owners who previously had to wait, the release closes a platform gap and the steep discount lowers the barrier to entry for a must‑play horror experience.

Tips for buyers

• Check the Xbox Store or Steam for the current sale window and final price before purchasing.
• Look for bundled offers or DLC that might be included in different storefront promotions.
• If you’re a purist, consider watching footage first to see how the new over‑the‑shoulder camera affects the vibe.

Find the game on the Xbox Store (opens in a new tab): Xbox Store — Silent Hill 2. For PC players, check Steam or Konami’s official store pages.

Discussion: Will you jump into Silent Hill 2 at half price, or are you waiting for a deeper discount or a bundle? Do you prefer classic fixed‑camera horror or the modern over‑the‑shoulder approach?
