Silent Hill 2 Remake May Release on Xbox and Switch in 2025, but Remains as PS5 Exclusive Until Then

Silent Hill 2 Remake's Console Release Window

The recently released "Silent Hill 2 - Immersion Trailer" has shed light on the game's release plans, confirming an October 2024 launch for PS5 and PC, while hinting at a wider console release in the future.

Silent Hill 2 Remake: A Year of PlayStation Exclusivity

The trailer explicitly states that the Silent Hill 2 remake will enjoy a one-year PlayStation 5 console exclusivity period. While available on PC via Steam concurrently with the PS5 launch on October 8th, 2024, Sony has confirmed the game will not be released on other platforms until October 8th, 2025.

This exclusivity window strongly suggests potential future releases on Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch. The timeframe makes a PS6 release unlikely, leaving these other platforms as the most probable destinations.

PC Distribution Beyond Steam?

The announcement also opens the door for broader PC distribution. While currently available on Steam, a wider release on platforms like Epic Games Store and GOG could be expected by next year. However, this remains speculation until officially confirmed.
