Silent Hill 2 Remake Launched To Over 23K Concurrent Players on Steam

Expert Verified By

Nearly 93% Positive Reviews!

Story Highlight
  • The Silent Hill 2 remake has been fully released and has reached a peak concurrent player count of 23k on Steam. 
  • It is a pretty good number, but it might not seem that high, given it is available in most countries, unlike other Sony PC Ports.
  • That said, the game has had a pretty solid reception, and fans seem to enjoy it. 

The original Silent Hill 2 was released in 2001 and is considered one of the best horror games of all time. It was truly a great game with a solid horror setting. So, Konami decided to surprise the fans with a remake. 

The remake initially received a lot of criticism as the Bloober Team’s work didn’t really deserve appreciation at that time. However, the team listened to the feedback and improved the remake by a lot. 

The early access garnered 95% positive reviews, and now, as the game is fully released, it launched to over 23K concurrent players on Steam

Why it matters: Silent Hill 2 is one of the old classics that many new-gen gamers might not be aware of. So, its remake holds a really high significance in the hearts of those who played it over 20 years ago.

As you can see in the image, the all-time peak was just an hour ago. The game reached a peak of 23,676, which is pretty good. This number can be increased further during weekends, but right now, it might not increase anymore. 

Sony PC ports are often criticized as they are not available in the majority of countries. Final Fantasy 16 had a similar issue, as its launch was pretty underwhelming. God of War Ragnarok was in the same boat. Fans were highly anticipating this, but as it wasn’t available in most countries, its peak was three times lower than its predecessor. 

The PSN requirement and late launches are the real culprits here. However, that isn’t the case with Silent Hill 2 remake. It was released on day one on PC and didn’t have the annoying PSN requirement, meaning it is available in countries where PSN isn’t available, just like all Sony PC ports should.

So, given that the concurrent players might seem low. That could be because of poor trailers initially, and many claimed that the ‘woke propaganda’ would be in the remake. Konami also recently deleted the post claiming the game is designed for the modern audience. 

So, the controversy is still there, but the game had a pretty solid launch. As of the time of writing, there are 21,665 players playing the remake, and it is sitting at a solid 92.87% positive rating.
