Silent Hill 2 just saw its first major price drop recently thanks to Black Friday sales kicking off at Best Buy and Amazon. The remake’s price plunged to $50, which seemed like a great deal until Walmart decided to join the fun. Walmart now offers the game for a mere $30, a truly staggering discount for a highly praised console exclusive that just hit shelves about six weeks ago.
If you’re considering snapping it up before 2 PM PT on November 25, there’s a heads-up: you’ll need a Walmart+ membership to grab this deal early, which currently costs $49 a year, a 50% discount itself. After the early access window closes, the $30 price tag becomes available to everyone, but act fast—there’s no guarantee it won’t sell out. As Walmart frequently sets the bar with pricing, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on Amazon; they often mirror Walmart’s deals. Currently, Amazon’s price is holding steady at $50, but that could change.
PC gamers are most definitely not left out, as Fanatical has also slashed prices for the Steam version. The standard edition is now $42, while the Digital Deluxe edition is down to $48 from its original $80.
Originally launched in 2001 for the PS2, Silent Hill 2 is iconic for its genre, and its remake manages to replicate that groundbreaking magic for today’s players. It received glowing reviews, including GameSpot’s Mark Delaney who gave it an impressive 9 out of 10. He notes, “By staying true to the original game in extremely important ways and taking calculated risks born from an understanding of the source material, all while being supported further by some of the game’s original brain trust, Bloober Team has done what was reasonably considered near-impossible. The remake of Silent Hill 2 is a restless dream come true.”
But if horror isn’t your thing, there are other fantastic Black Friday gaming deals. You could dive into some sci-fi action with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 for $50, marked down from $70. Or explore Capcom’s fantasy RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2, now $40, originally $70. Star Wars enthusiasts can snag Star Wars Outlaws at $50, another $70 game gone cheaper—a dream come true for aspiring Star Wars scoundrels. Definitely check Amazon’s site for a plethora of Black Friday bargains on games, electronics, and more, and don’t miss GameSpot’s Black Friday hub to catch even more savings from various retailers.
Just a quick mention: GameSpot and Fanatical are both under the Fandom umbrella.
