Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake is available now on Xbox consoles via the Microsoft Store. The critically-acclaimed survival horror remake debuted as a PlayStation 5 console exclusive when it launched back in October 2024, but as of today, it’s available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Silent Hill 2 remake was first rumored to appear on Xbox Series X/S last month, when the game’s official website was updated and fans spotted two blank text boxes alongside the PS5 and PC platform logos on the website’s banner. Then, on November 3, an ESRB rating for Silent Hill 2 remake on Xbox was spotted. Just five days later, Silent Hill 2 briefly appeared on the Microsoft Store with a November 21, 2025 release date, before quickly being taken down.
