Silent Hill 2 PC system requirements – minimum and recommended

The Silent Hill 2 PC system requirements are pretty beefy, and for a seemingly gorgeous horror game like this, it makes sense. Publisher Konami recommends that you have an SSD and at least 16GB of RAM for both minimum and recommended specs lists.

Silent Hill 2 will be pushing some impressive current-gen visuals on your PC. This means you’ll need the following specs to play the game on Low or Medium settings at 1080p, according to Silent Hill 2‘s Steam listing.

• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti or AMD Radeon™ RX 5700

These specs will also have you running Silent Hill 2 at 30 frames per second at Low or Medium. With this in mind, it may be time for you to upgrade your computer’s specs before trying to play this horror remake. Is this spooking you to go to Best Buy or Amazon right now? Thankfully, you won’t need as much storage as games like Starfield (125GB) and Horizon: Forbidden West (150GB).
