Steam Cloud Saves Come to Silent Hill 2 on PC

Konami and Bloober announced that the PC version of Silent Hill 2 now supports the Steam Cloud Saves feature. However, you do need to download the October 25, 2024 patch to bring it up to 1.05. Also, there are other consequences to this being added to the game.

Once you get the Silent Hill 2 PC patch, Steam Cloud Saves immediately kick in when you start the game. This means that it will always rely on those save files shared to the cloud. Konami and Bloober warned that if someone wanted to keep saving their local files, they should keep track of the folder where those are kept and back them up. You should be able to find them in “AppData\Local\SilentHill2\Saved\SaveGames” under your username on your computer. 

This isn’t the only change in this update. It also acts as a hotfix for the PS5 version of the game. Patch 1.04 made it impossible to progress in the Labyrinth if you had saved there, and 1.05 allows those people to continue playing the game. 

These sorts of patches come regularly. For example, earlier in October 2024, a patch appeared to prevent James from getting “stuck” in certain situations.

Silent Hill 2 is available for the PS5 and PC. It will be about a year before the PS5 exclusivity arrangement expires.
