The PlayStation 5 Pro may be the most powerful version of the console but when it comes to running Silent Hill 2, it's struggling. Bloober Team and Konami have done an excellent job modernizing one of the most important horror games ever made and while it runs beautifully on PC and the base PlayStation 5, not everyone is enjoying their time with it. Based on plenty of reports, it sounds as though some serious work is needed to ensure Silent Hill 2 performs properly on the PS5 Pro.

Over on Reddit, Unlucky-Soil-2456 shared an image of a thread on X (formerly Twitter) where Silent Hill 2 players are collectively requesting a patch or update that fixes the game on PS5 Pro.

s are complaining about broken lighting, flickering reflections, and constant frame rate drops which significantly detract from the atmosphere of the titular town. As pointed out above, Konami and Bloober Team have yet to respond to the demands so fans will just have to be patient and hope that a fix arrives soon.

Silent Hill 2's PS5 Pro Performance Is A Pity

It Looks Great Everywhere Else

It's ironic that Silent Hill 2 runs so poorly on the PS5 Pro when Sony has touted the device as its most powerful console yet. It's also a shame as Bloober Team has done some great work bringing the PlayStation 2 classic into the modern era with all the bells and whistles one might expect from the current generation. Despite the constant gloom and fog that hangs over the hamlet, there's a haunting beauty to Silent Hill 2 that's been retained in the remake.

What makes the experience even more disappointing is that Silent Hill 2 Remake is a genuinely fantastic game. Despite some enthusiasts being apprehensive before its launch, a version of the game that may not sur the original but certainly lived up to the hype. One can only hope that PS5 Pro players will soon understand the excitement; Konami and Bloober Team are likely aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

Silent Hill 2 Remake Was Better Than Expected

Even With High Expectations

While the trailers for Silent Hill 2 Remake didn't sell me on the experience, I had faith in Bloober Team. The studio of horror veterans has constantly pushed itself to take on increasingly more ambitious projects and while it hasn't always hit it out of the park, I've never hated one of its games. I'm glad its foray into the foggy town has been so successful and I hope Konami continues to work with Bloober to modernize more Silent Hill games.
