Silent Hill f Hits One Million Sales in Just One Day

Silent Hill f has made an immediate impact, selling one million copies within a day of launch across digital and physical platforms. Konami confirmed the milestone on September 26, and the pace places the game far ahead of Silent Hill 2 remake, which took three days to hit the same figure. For long-time fans hoping the franchise could find new momentum, the early sales numbers are a positive signal.

While Silent Hill 2 remake was met with praise from both veterans and newcomers, Silent Hill f has generated even more excitement by combining new storytelling with a familiar survival horror tone. The stronger sales performance suggests a significant appetite for original entries alongside remakes, giving Konami more incentive to invest further in the series.

Despite its early success, Silent Hill f has not launched without criticism. Players across multiple platforms have raised concerns about performance, with Unreal Engine 5 cited as a common factor. The game also faces feedback on difficulty balance, as some areas reportedly overwhelm players with excessive enemy encounters. Complaints extend to clunky inventory management and a combat system that some feel lacks depth.

Even with these issues, critical reception has been positive. Japanese outlet Famitsu awarded Silent Hill f its highest score for the series to date, highlighting how strongly the game resonated with reviewers in its home market. Coverage has emphasized how well the title blends psychological horror with unsettling visuals and story direction, even when weighed against technical setbacks.

On The Gamer, Features Lead Jade King praised the game with a 4.5/5 in her review, describing it as a defining return for the franchise.

“While Bloober Team’s remake of the legendary second entry was a positive step in the right direction, Silent Hill f feels like Konami finally cementing the survival horror icon’s return. It is an emotional, unpredictable, and unsettlingly beautiful glimpse into the worst parts of human nature.” — Jade King
