The Silent Hill 2 system requirements have been released for PC, giving horror game fans an early look at the hardware needed to run the upcoming remake. 

After over a decade of waiting, Silent Hill fans finally have a number of new games to look forward to. One of them is the highly anticipated remake of Silent Hill 2 – arguably the most iconic game in Konami’s survival horror series. 

However, if you’re aiming to uncover the spooky mysteries behind this monster-filled title, then you’ll need to see if your PC can run the game smoothly. After all, having any pesky FPS drops during combat and puzzle sequences can lead to some rather frightfully frustrating moments. 

So, before you go ahead and place your Silent Hill 2 preorder, we recommend looking at all the minimum and recommended system requirements.
