Silent Hill 2 remake tops 2.5M, PS Plus adds two remakes

Konami said the recent entries in its Silent Hill series have delivered a commercial rebound, with the 2024 Silent Hill 2 remake surpassing 2.5 million shipments and digital sales worldwide and lifting the franchise past 10 million units sold. The company’s announcement comes as Sony prepares to add the Silent Hill 2 remake and an Until Dawn remake to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium on October 21, making the PS5 versions available to subscribers at no extra cost.

Konami noted that last month’s Silent Hill f also reached a milestone, selling more than one million copies faster than the Silent Hill 2 remake. Both titles followed a 2022 announcement that bundled multiple Silent Hill projects, a strategy the series’ producer said was intended to signal a sustained commitment to the franchise rather than a single test release. Motoi Okamoto said the simultaneous reveal of three projects, including Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill f, and the narrative-focused Townfall, was meant to assure players that Silent Hill had a future. "We did not want to just announce a single remake to test the waters," he wrote.

The recent commercial success has been accompanied by broader release activity....
