  • Konami confirmed in its financial results that the Silent Hill series has sold over 14 million copies worldwide — an official figure disclosed in the context of FY2025/26 results.
  • This is a significant increase from the estimated 9–10 million total the franchise had accumulated before the 2024–2025 revival, meaning the two new entries added roughly 4–5 million copies to the lifetime total.
  • Over 1 million Silent Hill units were sold in a single quarter, contributing to Konami’s record profits.

Silent Hill 2 Remake

Silent Hill 2 Remake has surpassed 6 million cumulative players

  • Silent Hill 2 Remake launched October 8, 2024 on PS5 and PC.
  • It reached 2.5 million units by October 2025.
  • It surpassed 5 million units as of January 31, 2026 (Konami official, per internal tracking — “total of physical and digital sales”).
  • It reached 6 million cumulative players as of April 24, 2026 (Konami official; includes sales and subscription service access).

The gap between “5 million units” (January 2026) and “6 million cumulative players” (April 2026) reflects a difference in methodology: the 5M figure counts paid unit sales; the 6M figure includes Game Pass and subscription service access. The distinction matters — the paid copy count is the commercially meaningful one, and Konami has been careful to label the 6M figure as “players” rather than “units sold.”

  • Silent Hill f launched September 25, 2025 on PS5 and PC (Xbox Series X|S followed in late November 2025).
  • It sold over 1 million copies in just 4 days — confirmed by Konami.
  • Shipments and digital sales surpassed 2 million units as of April 22, 2026 (Konami official).
  • Metacritic score: 86 on PS5 — “generally favourable.” Critics praised its chilling atmosphere and dark story; combat drew mixed reactions.
  • The 86 Metacritic is the highest critical score for a mainline Silent Hill game since Silent Hill 2 (2001, Metacritic 89) and Silent Hill 3 (2003, Metacritic 85).

Silent Hill f is set in 1960s Japan — a departure from the American small-town setting of the original series. The game was developed by NeoBards Entertainment and published by Konami, marking the franchise’s most successful new-direction entry since Konami’s internal studios produced the original trilogy. Its 86 Metacritic score and rapid sales trajectory position it as the franchise’s most credible new chapter in more than two decades.

The original Silent Hill 2 (2001) sold approximately 3 million copies; the remake has already more than doubled that

  • Silent Hill 2 (2001) holds a Metacritic score of 89 — one of the most critically acclaimed survival horror games ever made.
