Silent Hill 2 has gotten its first big post-launch update. It includes technical improvements and bug fixes across PC and PS5.

On PS5, the patch fixes a set of “rare” crashes, including in streaming and AI modes. It also repairs an issue with switching in-game motion blur on and off.

Most notably for PC, the update improves Steam Deck optimization. Players using DLSS can now enable frame generation and Nvidia Reflex. The patch adds support for AMD FSR 3.1.1. and the ability to enable AMD Fluid Motion Frames when using FSR 3.1. for supersampling. Graphics settings should now be saved locally.

Most of the gameplay fixes are shared across versions. For example, James’ animations for switching weapons while aiming have improved. An issue where information about New Game + was displayed in the incorrect language has also been fixed.

If you’ve wrapped up Silent Hill 2 already, you may want to read up on how to get the remake’s new endings. If Silent Hill 2 didn’t sate your hunger for horror, October is still stacked with releases.

You can find the full patch notes below and on the official website. The patch notes include some boss and location names, so if you want to avoid even a whiff of spoilers, stay clear.
