A remake of the 2001 Konami horror classic, Silent Hill 2 Remake made quite the splash when it launched in October. When the title was first revealed, many fans were a bit critical on multiple features within it, such as the combat, character designs, and weather effects. While they may seem like small details to some, the title was heavily acclaimed and it was the development team, mainly Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, The Medium), to ensure the game’s legacy was intact. As the game approached launch, the correct changes were implemented and the title went on to be a hit with fans and critics alike, including at ComicBook. Still, updates are always welcome and the fixes made with today’s will certainly be welcome.
Announced on the official Silent Hill Twitter/X, the team posted the outline of the patch, named Update 1.06. Among all things, improvements were made to the PlayStation 5 Pro version, which will now play better and look better. Furthermore, the Steam version gets more of the same fixes that PlayStation 5 players get, albeit with addressing controller issues.
