(UPD) Silent Hill 2: patch 1.07 is here, but it brings new issues

Update from August 8, 2026, at 8:10 a.m. BST / 3:10 a.m. ET / 00:10 PT

Bloober Team quickly took to social media to explain that it was aware of the issues caused by this 1.07 update. The Polish developer is currently investigating these problems and "looking into potential solutions.”

We will get more information on the matter shortly.


Original article

Both pieces of news were first reported on the X platform.

First, patch 1.07 for the PS5 Pro version of Silent Hill 2 is now available. It includes numerous bug fixes, performance improvements, fixes for flickering shadows, and reduces certain effects.

The less positive news is that players wasted no time in reporting the issues caused by this patch. Just a few hours after its release, lighting issues (among others) began to surface. Some players are complaining about very low brightness in certain areas, while others are noting that shadows disappear at times, particularly during cutscenes.

Overall, the game’s “performance” graphics mode seems to have become unpleasant to play.
