For years, Silent Hill fans have been stuck in limbo when it comes to playing the series’ best entries on PC. While the first two games in the series did see PC releases back in the early 2000s, they’re long out of print, leaving fans to hunt down expensive physical copies or rely on unofficial workarounds.
Meanwhile, the original Silent Hill has never seen an official PC release outside of emulation. But now, there’s a sliver of hope: Silent Hill 1-3 have been added to GOG’s Dreamlist, a community-driven wishlist that could help determine future releases on the platform.
What This Could Mean for Silent Hill on PC
GOG has a strong track record of bringing classic games to modern platforms, often with quality-of-life improvements and DRM-free distribution. They previously worked with Konami to re-release Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania classics, so seeing Silent Hill on their Dreamlist suggests that at least some conversations about bringing the games to PC are happening behind the scenes.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed — many games have appeared on the Dreamlist without ever seeing a proper release. But if the series gets enough votes, it could push Konami toward finally making these survival horror masterpieces accessible again, whether through direct ports or a GOG-exclusive deal.
Long-Overdue Revival
With the SH2 Remake’s overwhelming success, Konami has already signaled its willingness to bring the franchise back to the mainstream. A re-release of the original trilogy would be a perfect way to capitalize on that momentum, especially for players who want to experience the series’ roots without digging through secondhand markets.
For now, it’s up to the fans — if you want to see Silent Hill return to PC, head over to GOG’s Dreamlist and cast your vote. This might be the best chance yet to bring these horror classics back from the fog.
