The exclusive publishing agreement between Konami and Sony Interactive Entertainment expires this week, on October 8th. This crucial date paves the way for the official announcement, and even a surprise release, of the horror classic’s arrival on Xbox Series X|S and even Nintendo Switch 2 (the anticipated new console).

If these speculations are true, other console owners are in for a chilling, exclusive experience.

Changes to the Silent Hill 2 Remake website code fuel rumors

The most concrete clue that the game will be coming to other platforms comes from mysterious updates made by Bloober Team to the official Silent Hill 2 website landing page.

An examination of the page code reveals that, in addition to the existing platforms (PS5 and Steam), two new platforms have been allocated. While these changes have not yet been officially confirmed, gamers believe these spaces will house the Xbox Series X and Switch 2 logos.

The 12-month contract between Konami and Sony for Silent Hill 2 Remake, which launched last October, is expected to expire on October 8th. This timing could mean that both platforms’ versions could be announced simultaneously on that date or released directly.

Some are speculating that Konami and Bloober Team will combine this major release with a PS5 Pro patch to bring Silent Hill 2 Remake to Xbox and Switch 2 on October 8th. While even the website edit isn’t conclusive evidence, the rumors are fueling the excitement.

Bloober Team’s remake has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from both critics and players since its release. The game has been hailed as a masterpiece in the psychological horror genre, offering a terrifying and realistic experience worthy of the original thanks to its atmosphere, enhanced graphics, acting, and music.
