As part of the GOG Preservation program, Konami’s Silent Hill 4: The Room has received an update on PC, addressing numerous issues. Available on GOG’s store (with a 30 percent discount until April 3rd), the update provides improved compatibility with Windows 10 and 11 and fixes a major bug when pressing Alt + Tab.
Other notable changes include full support for modern controllers (including DualSense Edge and Nvidia Shield) alongside hot-plugging and vibrations. The audio and panning offer a more “balanced sound experience,” while the default brightness and gamma faithfully resemble the PS2 version.
However, perhaps the most significant new addition is the restoration of the previously missing hauntings, making this the de facto Silent Hill 4 experience. Check out the full update notes below for more details.
As for future titles, the next mainline entry is Silent Hill f, developed by NeoBards Entertainment for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Though it hasn’t received a release date, its ESRB rating could mean a launch this year. Head here for more details.
