One of 2024’s Best PlayStation Exclusives Is About to Hit PS Plus Extra for Free
Months of whispers are over—Sony has made it official: Silent Hill 2 haunts the PS Plus Game Catalogue on October 21, 2025, pulling its long-rumored arrival out of the fog and into subscribers’ hands.
Sony finally did the thing: Silent Hill 2 is officially sliding into the PS Plus Game Catalog on Tuesday, October 21, 2025. After months of whispers and Reddit bingo cards, the company confirmed it in a blog post, so yes, you will actually get to haunt your PS5 with James Sunderland without paying extra (as long as you have Extra or Premium).
When it hits and who gets it
PS Plus catalog updates usually go live around 12:00 PM EDT on the third Tuesday of the month, so expect the drop then. If you subscribe to PS Plus Extra or Premium, Silent Hill 2 will be included at no additional cost. Essential members, as usual, don’t get catalog titles.
A quick refresher on this remake
This is the remake of the 2001 classic, rebuilt with modern visuals and audio, and it launched on October 8, 2024. It’s taken a year to show up in the catalog, which is a little late, but hey, horror ages well. You’re still stepping into James Sunderland’s very bad day in Silent Hill, and yes, the PS5 version is the one coming to the catalog.
Timing-wise, it arrives right on the heels of the new series entry, Silent Hill f, which just dropped. Konami is clearly making October feel like October.
What else is joining the catalog that day
- As Dusk Falls — original release July 19, 2022
- Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 — original release October 12, 2021
- Until Dawn Remake — original release October 4, 2024
- V Rising — original release May 17, 2022 (Early Access)
- Wizard with a Gun — original release October 17, 2023
- Yakuza: Like a Dragon — original release January 16, 2020
- Tekken 3 — Premium only via the Classic Catalog; Essential and Extra won’t have access
Heads up on the usual PS Plus cadence
Catalog refresh hits midday EDT on that third Tuesday, and then almost a week later Sony typically announces the next set of monthly games. So if you’re subbed, the next couple of weeks should be busy.
Bottom line: if you skipped Silent Hill 2 at launch, this is a perfect excuse to kill the lights, put on headphones, and remember why fog and radios are a terrible combo.
