Big news for Xbox fans who’ve been waiting (and waiting… and waiting) to play the Silent Hill 2 remake: it looks like the wait is almost over.
According to a leaked Microsoft Store listing, the highly anticipated remake is set to launch on Xbox Series X|S on November 21, 2025.
And yes, this leak likely came from Microsoft itself.
How Did It Happen?
The listing was first spotted by TrueAchievements, a trusted source for Xbox news. For a short time, Silent Hill 2 Remake appeared on the Microsoft Store with a clear release date: November 21, 2025.
But then, just as quickly, it vanished.
The listing didn’t mention Xbox Play Anywhere (meaning no free PC copy if you buy it on Xbox), and notably, there was no mention of Born from a Wish—the beloved DLC from the original game that fans have been begging for. Many hoped the remake would include it; so far, no official version does.
Still, the fact that it appeared at all, with a specific date, is telling.
Why This Matters
When Silent Hill 2 launched on October 8, 2024, it was a timed exclusive for PlayStation 5 and PC. That meant Xbox and Switch players were left out—frustrating, especially since the original Silent Hill 2 is considered one of the greatest horror games ever made.
The timed exclusivity officially ended on October 8, 2025, exactly one year after launch. Since then, fans have been refreshing the Microsoft Store daily.
This leak suggests Xbox players may finally get their chance in less than two weeks.
What About Nintendo Switch 2?
That’s the million-dollar question.
The upcoming Resident Evil Requiem is launching on Switch 2 the same day as PS5, Xbox, and PC, proving the new console can handle serious horror.
But so far, no rating, no listing, no hints for Silent Hill 2 on Switch 2.
It’s possible the team at Bloober Team needs more time to optimize the game for the handheld. Remember, Silent Hill f, the newer entry, skipped Switch entirely.
If it does come to Switch 2, it’ll likely be after the Xbox version—early 2026 at the earliest.
A Word of Caution
Leaks happen. Dates change. Microsoft may have posted the listing by accident, or it could be outdated info.
So while November 21 feels real, don’t pre-order just yet. Wait for an official announcement from Konami or Bloober Team. An Xbox Wire post or a trailer during a showcase would be the real confirmation.
Why Fans Care So Much
Let’s be honest: Silent Hill 2 isn’t just a game. It’s a masterpiece—haunting, emotional, and deeply human. The remake, built in Unreal Engine 5, modernizes the visuals and sound while keeping the soul intact. Critics and fans alike praised it for honoring the original without losing its power.
For Xbox players—who’ve supported franchises like Gears and Halo through thick and thin—it’s been tough watching everyone else explore the foggy streets of Silent Hill while they wait.
This leak? It’s hope. And sometimes, hope is the most powerful item in your inventory.
Stay safe out there. And whatever you do, don’t follow the radio static.
