Silent Hill 2 Remake Exact Release Date Launch Times Shared

We know that the Silent Hill 2 release date is October 8, 2024, but now Konami and Bloober Team also announced the exact launch times. Depending on where you live and how you get your copy, you could be playing it on October 7, 2024. 

For most places, the PS5 launch time is generally 12am local time on October 8, 2024. This is true of places like Hong Kong, Istanbul, London, New York, Paris, Riyadh, Sao Paulo, Sydney, Tokyo, and Warsaw. The one exception is Los Angeles, where people who picked up the PS5 version of Silent Hill 2 can start playing at 9pm PT on October 7, 2024. 

It’s when it comes to the PC version of the game that the release times get scattered due to how Steam works. Here’s the list of when it will be available in various time zones. Note that in North America, people in the Central or Pacific ones will be able to start playing on October 7, 2024. (I also included the notable cities tied to each time zone on the map to help with picking out regions.)

• AEST (Sydney): 3pm on October 8, 2024
• BST (London): 5am on October 8, 2024
• CDT (Chicago): 11pm on October 7, 2024
• CEST (Paris, Warsaw): 6am on October 8, 2024
• EDT (New York): 12am on October 8, 2024
• GMT-3 (Sao Paulo): 1am on October 8, 2024

• HKT (Hong Kong): 12pm on October 8, 2024

Here’s the official tweet that includes an image of the map with the Silent Hill 2 release date launch times.

However, in some cases there could be people who are already playing Silent Hill 2 remake ahead of the official release date and launch times. This is because some are already reporting finding physical copies in the wild. There are reports on Reddit from people who already found copies of Silent Hill 2 or got their copy sent to them early. However, since this is a remake of an over 20 year old game, at least spoilers aren’t an issue.

Silent Hill 2 remake will come to the PS5 and PC on October 8, 2024, though that might be October 7, 2024 depending on where you live. It is a PS5 console exclusive for a year.
