Silent Hill 2The latest trailer confirms that the survival horror remake will benefit from a one-year exclusivity on the PS5 console.

As spotted by Eurogamer, Bloober Team’s long-awaited remake of Konami’s 2001 classic is set to launch on October 8. It was previously known that Silent Hill 2 It would be a PS5 console exclusive, but it was unclear whether this was to be a permanent fixture or not.

So far, at least, thanks to the Silent Hill 2 “Immersion” trailer that appeared on PlayStation’s official YouTube channel. The one-minute trailer showcases some of the Silent Hill 2 Impressive environments and features, such as 4K visuals and immersive haptic feedback via the DualSense wireless controller. There will also be PlayStation 3D audio support and a dynamic light bar implementation that keeps track of protagonist James Sunderland’s health in a color-coded manner.

However, the PlayStation 5 splash screen at the end of the trailer reveals that Silent Hill 2 will not be “available on other formats until August 10, 2025.” That’s October 8, 2025, exactly one year after the game’s launch.

While Silent Hill 2 will be available on PC on day one, which essentially means it won’t be coming to Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S (or potentially even Nintendo Switch 2) until at least late 2025. And even then, we still recommend trying the game out on PS5 if you can in order to make the most of those bespoke DualSense features like adaptive triggers and haptic feedback support.
