The first major update for the Silent Hill 2 Remake comes with patch 1.04 which brings improved Steam Deck performance, crash fixes, and many more.
Bloober Team just released the update in order to address various gameplay issues and to improve the remake's technical performance for a better gaming experience. The developer released the patch notes on Steam that outline dozens of changes made to the game.
Silent Hill 2 Remake Update
Some of these adjustments were made to address some weird bugs such as Silent Hill 2 protagonist James teleporting through a peephole and getting stuck inside a window found near Neely's Bar.
The studio also reduced the remake's visual glitches when players used the latest version of NVIDIA DLSS. The team also added an option that lets you enable DLSS frame generation in the menu when using DLSS for supersampling, according to IGN.
The Silent Hill 2 Remake was released on Oct. 8, 2024, and quickly gained critical acclaim. It was able to sell more than a million copies in less than a week, leaving fans wanting more from the popular franchise.

Bloober Team said that it was willing to make more Silent Hill games but noted that it is currently focused on its upcoming title, Cronos: The New Dawn. Many players said that the Silent Hill 2 Remake is a great revisiting of one of the best entries in the series.
The update for the Silent Hill 2 Remake also fixes a set of "rare" crashes that many PlayStation 5 players have been experiencing. These include times when the game is in streaming and AI modes, Game Spot said.
Implementing Various Fixes
Another thing that was affected by the latest patch was James' animations for switching weapons while he was aiming. There was also an issue about New Game+ being displayed in the wrong language that was fixed.
The patch also fixed an issue with Wooden Plank appearing during the main character's death animation. It also addresses a streaming issue where players who stare at the walls inside the Grand Market have problems with loading all of the environment around their character.
Players will also no longer fall under the map when they approach Laura as they enter Brookhaven Hospital coming from the bushes on the left side.
For PC users, the major update also fixed an issue with the option of switching In-Game Motion Blur. The latest patch for the Silent Hill 2 Remake comes as the game is currently available for PC and PlayStation worldwide, according to WCCFTech.
