Can you Remap Controls in Silent Hill 2 Remake?

Yes, you can remap and customize the controls in Silent Hill 2 Remake, whether you’re playing on a controller or the keyboard and mouse.

Additionally, players can choose between different in-game button prompts regardless of the controller connected. Players can switch between Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo button prompts by adjusting the value of the “Controller Icons” under General in the Controls section of the settings.

If you’re playing on PC, we recommend uncapping the framerate during cutscenes in Silent Hill 2 Remake, especially if your PC can handle it.
