Subscribers to PlayStation Plus Extra have something spine-chilling to look forward to. On October 21, Sony will add the acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake to its game catalog exclusively for Extra and Premium members.
PlayStation Plus Extra October lineup expands again
With Alan Wake 2 and Goat Simulator 3 already live this month, Sony isn’t slowing down. Now, another horror classic joins the list. Silent Hill 2 Remake arrives for Extra and Premium users, though Essential subscribers will miss out on this one.
This remake launched in October 2024 and quickly became a hit. Critics praised its faithful tone, modern visuals, and tightened gameplay, while fans flooded it with over 60,000 positive reviews on Steam.
Silent Hill 2’s PS5/PC exclusivity ends this week, and new signs suggest a Switch 2 version could be on the way alongside Xbox Series X|S.
Silent Hill 2 remake is a major score for PlayStation Plus Extra
Not only was the remake a critical success, but it also crossed the 10 million units sold mark, making it one of the most commercially successful survival horror remakes in years.
Here’s what makes this version stand out:
- Rebuilt visuals in Unreal Engine 5
- Re-recorded voice acting and orchestral soundtrack
- Enhanced combat and camera system
- Fully modernized controls and performance
It’s a faithful love letter to the 2001 classic, reimagined for current-gen hardware.
PlayStation Plus Extra could get more Silent Hill content soon
Interestingly, the Silent Hill 2 remake doesn’t currently support PS5 Pro enhancements. That could change soon, according to recent leaks. There’s also chatter about a potential DLC drop, though no official announcement has landed yet.
Xbox release still uncertain
One major question remains: will Xbox players ever get this game? Some sources say an Xbox release is in the pipeline, while others insist it’s staying PlayStation-exclusive for the foreseeable future. For now, PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers have it first and for free.
PlayStation Plus Extra keeps stacking value
This is another strong month for PlayStation Plus Extra, with a critically acclaimed horror title added just in time for Halloween. Between this, Alan Wake 2, and the usual lineup refresh, subscribers won’t be lacking for scares or content.
In the horror wars, Sony just claimed another head.
