Silent Hill 2 PC Requirements: Minimum and Recommended Specifications

Konami and Bloober Team have revealed the minimum and recommended specifications for Silent Hill 2 on PC.

If you want to play the remake of the horror classic on PC, you’ll need to make sure your rig is powerful enough to run the game. Meet the minimum requirements and you’ll at least be able to play it.

You’ll hope, however, that you can appreciate the game’s strong visuals, which is where the recommended specs come in. Match those and Silent Hill 2 will shine.

Fortunately, neither the minimum nor recommended specs seem particularly demanding compared to some other modern games. If you want to experience it at 60fps, you’ll need a powerful machine.

Read on to find out what the Silent Hill 2 minimum requirements and recommended specs are for playing the remake on PC.
