Silent Hill 2 Remake’s system requirements have been revealed, and it will require a powerful PC. PC Gamer reported Silent Hill 2 Remake’s Steam page required a GeForce RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon 6800XT graphics card. As well as an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor with 16GB of RAM.
Even those graphics cards, which were high-end in 2018, don’t run the game well. You’ll get medium-quality visuals at 60 frames per second or high-quality visuals at 30 frames per second. This is for 1080p; 4K is possible with DLSS “or similar technology”. Considering the specs for just 30fps, it’s likely to be pretty demanding to run the game at 60fps with optimal settings. As well as the recommended specs, the opposite end of the spectrum was also shared. Silent Hill 2 requires an AMD Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1080 equivalent graphics card along with an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X processor and 12GB of RAM to run at low or medium quality at 1080p and 30 frames per second.
A three-minute trailer showed off the 21-year-old game recreated in Unreal Engine 5 during the Silent Hill Transmission showcase. It’s also coming to PlayStation 5, where Konami promises “seamless” play without loading screens, though this might also be true on PC, which might explain why it’s so demanding. Rumors of a remake have been circulating for a long time. The original is one of the greatest horror games of all time. Silent Hill’s trademark renewal in March rekindled talks, and leaked images appeared online in May before being quickly taken down.
