Silent Hill 2 PS5 Pro Patch Improves PSSR But Breaks Shadows

A new 6GB patch for the Bloober Team-developed Silent Hill 2 Remake has arrived on PlayStation 5 Pro, bringing major improvements to Sony's proprietary upscaler alongside a notable visual bug.

Quick Facts

Platform: PlayStation 5 Pro
Patch Size: 6GB
Developer: Bloober Team
Publisher: Konami

Image quality is now massively improved across the board, with PSSR working as intended by architect Mark Cerny. However, forum reports on ResetEra highlight a significant downside: shadows in Performance Mode are currently broken, causing crushed blacks and dark areas to look unpolished.

Players can avoid the shadow glitch by switching to Quality Mode, though doing so caps the frame rate at 30fps. Konami has not yet detailed a timeline for a follow-up fix to resolve the Performance Mode issue.
