Silent Hill Remake Studio Wants to Make Physical Games 'for as Long as Possible'

Bloober Team, the studio behind the Silent Hill 2 remake, is committed to producing physical versions of its games as long as possible, according to studio CEO Piotr Babieno. In an interview with GamesRadar, Babieno emphasized the studio's appreciation for physical media and collectibles, noting that while graphical advancements have reached a plateau, other senses can enhance the gaming experience.

He stated that the majority of players are still using hardware five to seven years old, suggesting that physical games retain emotional value for players. Babieno and Broken Mirror Games' executive director, Tymon Smektala, both expressed a desire to continue supporting physical releases, despite Sony's planned discontinuation of disc-based PlayStation games in 2028.
