Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, which released earlier this month, has already managed to shift an impressive number of copies.
As shared by publisher Konami, the remake, which puts players back into the grief-riddled shoes of James Sunderland, has already sold a total of 1m copies (that’s across both physical and digital media) since its global launch on 8th October.
In fact, Konami said the remake reached this sales milestone in less than a week, citing sales figures from 11th October. So, that’s actually a whopping 1m copies in just three days.

As noted by industry insider DuskGolem, this rather zippy timeframe makes Silent Hill 2 Remake the fastest-selling entry in the series to date.
What’s more, while Bloober hasn’t published sales of its previous games, this so far appears to be the company’s biggest critical and commercial success to date.
As a slight aside (considering the two series were traditionally in competition on PlayStation), Capcom also announced today its Resident Evil 4 remake has now welcomed “eight million-plus agents” since its debut.
Silent Hill 2 Remake has surpassed 1 million units sold in less than a week (via Konami’s press release, reached 1 million sales on October 11th).
Makes it the fastest selling Silent Hill game by far, & certainly not bad for a PS5/PC exclusive releasing for a long dormant IP. https://t.co/OqpYs5kbI5
