Silent Hill 2 remake players have been calling out Konami to fix some of the technical issues that are still affecting the game when played on the PlayStation 5 Pro console.

The game sold a million copies within its launch period and was praised by both fans and critics for being a great remake in general. Despite its positive impressions, the game isn’t completely blemish-free, as it has had some issues after launch.
Many Silent Hill 2 players were still rather critical of the game, even after parts like its technical performance and James’ movements were tweaked in an update. Fans even discovered a game-breaking bug in Silent Hill 2‘s Labyrinth area, which was introduced in the game’s version 1.04 update. While the developers quickly addressed the issue, stating there was a fix on the way, technical problems still impact the Silent Hill 2 remake. This demand for fixes to the remake’s shortcomings is still pretty prevalent, evidenced by a recent call for Konami to fix the game’s performance on the PS5 Pro.
