Global release schedule and platform timings
Konami confirmed that Silent Hill f will hit shelves worldwide on September 25, 2025. The company has broken down the rollout by region and hardware, giving fans a clear picture of when they can start playing. Console owners on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as Windows PC users, will see the game become playable at midnight in their respective local time zones. That means North American gamers get access at 12:00 AM ET, UK players at 12:00 AM BST, and Central European fans at 12:00 AM CEST.
Digital distribution via Steam and the Epic Games Store follows a slightly later schedule in Europe. In the United Kingdom the title unlocks at 5:00 AM BST, while the same day on the continental side sees a 6:00 AM CEST release. A further hour later, at 7:00 AM GMT, the game becomes available on those storefronts for the remaining European regions.
Early access, pricing and critical reception
The Digital Deluxe edition, priced at $80, grants owners a 48‑hour head start. Early access kicks off on September 23 at 9 PM PT, letting die‑hard followers explore the town’s new horrors before the general public. This edition also includes exclusive cosmetic items and a digital artbook, adding value for collectors.
Critics have already praised the revival. GameSpot awarded the game a 9/10, noting that it not only returns to form but pushes the series forward with “visual spectacle, masterful psychological horror, narrative brilliance, and a new benchmark for the franchise.” Reviewer Jessica Cogswell highlighted the blend of classic atmosphere with modern gameplay refinements.
Beyond the accolades, Silent Hill f marks a strategic return for Konami to the Xbox ecosystem after a lengthy absence. By launching across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and both major PC storefronts, the company ensures the title reaches the broadest possible horror‑gaming audience.
