Silent Hill 2 Update 1.04 Live, Here’s What It Does

Konami and Bloober Team have released a new Silent Hill 2 update — titled Update 1.04 — via PS5 and PC (Steam). Alongside releasing the update, Konami and Bloober Team have also released the patch notes for the new Silent Hill 2 Update 1.04, which in turn reveals and details everything the update does. And according to the lengthy patch notes of the update, it does a lot.

Unfortunately, while Konami and Bloober Team have released the patch notes for the new update, which can be seen below, they have not provided any information about what the file size of the download is.

That said, Silent Hill 2 owners who boot up the game, whether on PS5 or PC, should make sure the bottom right of the game top screen says v.1.1.242,185. If it doesn’t you are playing an outdated version of the horror game.
