[UPDATE] Silent Hill 2 Remake Has 50% Launch Discount on Xbox ‘To Celebrate Our Community’s Passion And Patience’

UPDATE: Konami has now officially acknowledged the Xbox Series X/S launch of Silent Hill 2, which began rolling out worldwide in Australia yesterday. The game has been available from the Xbox Store since midnight local time in the UK and later in the US, and now the publisher finally pointed to the launch via social media.

“Some stories cannot be contained, and neither can the fog that heralds them. Silent Hill 2 is NOW on Xbox Series X/S,” Konami wrote. “To celebrate our community’s passion and patience, the Xbox version will launch with a limited-time 50% off sale.”

In the US, Silent Hill 2 is currently priced $35, down from its usual $70. It’s unclear how long the launch discount will last.

ORIGINAL STORY: It’s happening — the brilliant Silent Hill 2 Remake is finally arriving on Xbox Series X/S, and it’s being released with a hefty 50% launch discount.

Fans have spotted that the game is already available to purchase via the Xbox Store in Australia, where it’s already Friday, November 21. Store pages for the game in other regions are also available, though the game cannot yet be purchased elsewhere.

When it does become available — likely when midnight passes tonight — the game looks to have launched at half price. The Australian version has a recommended retail price of AU $99, currently reduced to AU $50, which is something at least after the long wait.

As of yet, publisher Konami is yet to make the launch official, though we are just hours away from Microsoft’s impending Xbox Partner Preview showcase, where the console maker is set to detail a raft of new third-party announcements. You can tune into that later today, Thursday, November 20 from 10am Pacific, 1pm Eastern, or 6pm UK time.

Silent Hill 2 Remake has been available since October 2024 on PC and PlayStation 5, though its eventual arrival on Xbox Series X/S has long been expected. Last month, a new Xbox version of the game popped up on the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), suggesting it was finally almost time — and here we are.

Silent Hill 2 Remake has sold 2.5 million worldwide, something which has propelled sales of the overall franchise past the 10 million mark. IGN’s Silent Hill 2 Remake review returned an 8/10. We said: “Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror.”
