Through Steam we have the opportunity to see the minimum and recommended PC requirements of Silent Hill 2 Remake: they are more scary than the game, it must be said.
Silent Hill 2 Remake is reality and, sooner or later, we will be able to play it on PlayStation 5 and on PC (later also on other consoles, after the end of Sony’s temporal exclusivity). In the meantime, we have a chance to find out the minimum and recommended system requirements of the PC version of Silent Hill 2 Remake. The problem is that they might be more scary than the game itself. Let’s start with the minimum PC requirements of Silent Hill 2 Remake:
- Operating system: Windows 10 x64
- Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 | AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
- Memory: 12 GB of RAM
- Video card: AMD Radeon RX 5700 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
- DirectX: Version 12
- Memory: 50 GB of available space
These minimum requirements indicate a computer that will be able to aim to play at 1080p and 30 FPS in low or medium quality.

Let’s see instead the recommended PC requirements for Silent Hill 2 Remake:
- Operating system: Windows 11 x64
- Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K | AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
- Memory: 16 GB of RAM
- Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 2080RTX or AMD Radeon 6800XT
- DirectX: Version 12
- Memory: 50 GB of available space
These recommended requirements are those needed to play at medium quality, at 60 FPS, or at high quality and 30 FPS , in both cases in 1080p. If you want 4K, indicates the Steam page of Silent Hill 2 Remake, you must necessarily use DLSS or similar technology.
Basically, we are talking about very high requirements that could put many in difficulty. However, it must be said that it is possible that these requirements are temporary and that for the moment Konami has preferred to aim high and then lower them as development progresses and the game is optimized. Or at least we hope so.
