- The Silent Hill 2 Remake has surpassed 5 million players across all platforms.

Horror video games are on the rise once again this year. Resident Evil Requiem has broken franchise records, selling 5 million copies across the globe while garnering critical acclaim from every corner of the gaming world for its perfect blend of action and horror.
On the other hand, its long-time competitor, Silent Hill, isn’t doing too badly either, as the most recent entry in the series was the fastest to reach 1 million sales. Now, Konami’s horror IP has reached yet another milestone, this time for the Silent Hill 2 remake.
Why it matters: The horror genre keeps proving that if gamers are given quality titles, they will show up to play.
As announced on X, Silent Hill 2 Remake has now surpassed 5 million players worldwide as of January 31, 2026. These numbers include both the unit sales of the horror title and the players it gained on subscription services like PlayStation Plus.
Previously, the Silent Hill 2 Remake had sold 2.5 million copies, making it the best-selling entry in the Konami franchise, which crossed 10 million sales itself.
This milestone is one of many the Bloober Team game has racked up since launch. The success of the Silent Hill 2 remake helped Konami’s stock grow by 96% in 2024, while also increasing its developer Bloober Team’s profit by a whopping 680%.
With such overwhelming success, it’s no surprise that Konami is working with the developer again on the Silent Hill 1 remake, which is currently in production. In addition, the Japanese publisher is also working on another game in the franchise and is committed to giving fans at least one new Silent Hill entry every year.
