Silent Hill 2 PC requirements: Minimum and recommended specs
We couldn't stay silent about these requirements any longer.
Konami and Bloober Team have revealed the minimum and recommended specs for Silent Hill 2 on PC.
If you're keen to play the remake of the horror classic on PC, you'll need to make sure your rig is powerful enough to run the game. Match the minimum requirements and you can play it, at least.
You'll hope you can appreciate the game's strong visuals, though, which is where the recommended specs come in. Match those and Silent Hill 2 will shine.
Fortunately, neither the minimum nor recommended specs seem particularly taxing compared to some other modern games. If you’re keen on experiencing it at 60fps, though, you will need a powerful machine.
Read on to find out what the Silent Hill 2 minimum requirements and recommended specs are to play the remake on PC.
