What might be surprising about the PS5 Pro Enhanced version ofSilent Hill 2is that it was not properly announced before. Recently, Sony released alist of games confirmed to get PS5 upgrades. While the list included popular titles such asAlan Wake 2,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,Dragon’s Dogma 2,Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth,Horizon Forbidden West, and others, it did not include the remake of Konami’s classic horror game.
ThePS5 Pro will be released on November 7, and it has been a very controversial topic since its original announcement. The console is being released with a hefty price tag of $700 in the United States, and it may be even more expensive in other countries. Despite the new model offering a 45% faster GPU and advanced ray tracing, the high price prompted a discussion about whether the console was worth it, as a normal PS5 would still run the same games and be considerably less expensive. In any case, many popular titles will see notable improvements on the new piece of hardware.
