The survival horror landscape has a new milestone. Konami’s latest title, Silent Hill f, is now the fastest-selling game in the franchise. Developed by NeoBards Entertainment, this new installment has surpassed the acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake, showing a marked increase in the series’ commercial growth. Silent Hill f reached one million units sold worldwide days earlier than its predecessor, indicating the franchise’s strong popularity in today’s gaming world.
Official figures from Konami show that Silent Hill f sold over one million copies on September 26, 2025. This quick success means the game hit this sales figure almost two full days faster than Bloober Team’s 2024 remake of the classic psychological horror game. For comparison, the Silent Hill 2 remake took three days after its global launch, and five days in total when including the early access period for Deluxe Edition buyers, to reach the same number in October 2024. The consistent two-day difference remains the same, whether or not early access sales are counted, solidifying the new record for Silent Hill f.
Several reasons contribute to this impressive launch performance, with broader platform availability being a key factor. The Silent Hill 2 remake was a console exclusive for the PlayStation 5, along with a PC release. In contrast, Silent Hill f launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S at the same time. This decision to include Microsoft’s current-generation console expanded the market reach significantly, driving up initial sales across all major regions.
The commercial success of Silent Hill f suggests that the long-running horror series is currently enjoying a revival. The favorable critical response to both recent games highlights this resurgence. Silent Hill f has an average OpenCritic score of 87, closely matching the strong standing of the Silent Hill 2 remake. With both titles performing well in reviews and sales, the future of the Silent Hill franchise looks promising.
