The highly anticipated Silent Hill 2 Remake is officially making its way to Xbox Series consoles, as confirmed by a new listing on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) website. Previously, the game had only been rated for PlayStation 5 and PC, gaining recognition for its disturbing content, resulting in a 17+ rating due to its blood, gore, sexual themes, strong language, and violence. With the expiration of its one-year exclusivity on PlayStation 5, fans are thrilled at the impending accessibility to Xbox players, although details regarding the port and the anticipated Born From a Wish DLC remain elusive from Konami. The game's success is notable, having sold 2.5 million copies worldwide and boosting overall franchise sales to 10 million, while garnering an 8/10 review score from IGN, emphasizing it as a compelling title in the survival horror genre.

When will Silent Hill 2 Remake be available on Xbox Series consoles?

While a specific release date hasn't been confirmed by Konami, the ESRB listing is a strong indication that the game will soon be available for Xbox Series players, especially since its PlayStation exclusivity recently ended.

Silent Hill 2 originally launched in 2001 and has since become a cornerstone of the survival horror genre, recognized for its psychological horror elements and intricate storytelling. The upcoming remake aims to modernize these classic mechanics while staying true to the franchise's roots. With the return of multiple Silent Hill projects, including new games and media, Konami is making a concerted effort to rekindle interest in this legendary horror series, which had been quiet for a decade prior to its recent announcements.
