Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober Team is working on a fix for the shimmering issue that has plagued the PlayStation 5 Pro version of the beloved horror game.
Fans who paid $699.99 for the PS5 Pro, a souped-up console that promised to bring improved graphics and performance to all PS5 titles, were disappointed to see many games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and more, looked worse rather than better.
Silent Hill 2 is perhaps most affected by the PS5 Pro patch, as fans were met with a slight shimmering effect over many parts of the game. Bloober Team has finally responded to one fan on X/Twitter asking if they were aware of the issue, though, saying simply: “We’re working on it.”
No release date for an update fixing the problem was given, though as the PS5 Pro has been available for almost two weeks, fans are hoping it will come sooner rather than later.
The PS5 Pro arrived November 7 as Sony’s now standard mid-generation upgrade. More than 50 games received PS5 Pro specific patches upon its launch but, as this list includes Alan Wake 2 and Black Ops 6 among others receiving complaints, it’s worth proceeding with caution.
In our 7/10 review of the PS5 Pro, IGN said: “The PlayStation 5 Pro is an impressive console with noticeable boosts in performance and graphics for games that take advantage of its powerful hardware. But for $700, you’ll need to think twice about whether or not the upgrade is worth the price tag.”
