About the Game
James Sunderland has arrived in the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife Mary, telling him to meet her in their special place in Silent Hill. However his wife died three years ago, and has kept the secrets surrounding her death. James decides to honor the letter's request, wondering if this is a sick joke or if there is more to this. As he reaches the outskirts of the town, James finds that the road is blocked, and parks at an abandoned restroom. Little does he realize that this is the first step forward into the mystery of Silent Hill and his own past.

Build 16168632
Oct 25, 2024
On 25th October 2024, we carried out an update to make some adjustments to the game.
We are happy to announce a new update for SILENT HILL 2 that addresses a critical issue in the Labyrinth level, after last Patch 1.04 for both Steam® and PlayStation®5 players, and introduces Steam Cloud save functionality for PC players on Steam®. Please check that the version number on the bottom right of the game top screen is v.1.1.244,738.
• Labyrinth Progression Blocker:
Fixed an issue where players who saved their game in the Labyrinth, after Toluca Prison, on the previous version encountered a progression blocker if the save data was loaded after updating to Patch 1.04. We have implemented a fix by adding a safeguard that forces proper activation of the necessary triggers, ensuring smooth progression moving forward.
• Steam Cloud Saves:
We have enabled Steam® Cloud support for PC players on Steam®. Please note that the game will automatically sync with the latest cloud save data. If the cloud save is more recent than the local save, it will overwrite the local data without a warning pop-up. We recommend players back up their local saves if you wish to keep multiple versions.
Thank you for your patience and for reporting issues as we continue to improve your experience. We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support.
