Doubts about the release of Silent Hill: Townfall on Xbox continue to grow. After the publication of the new trailer and the update of its official website, only PS5, Steam, and Epic Games Store are listed as confirmed platforms. Xbox Series is not mentioned in any section, which has sparked debate on social media.

What’s most striking is not just the absence of Xbox on the website, but also Konami’s silence in the face of hundreds of questions from players seeking clarity on a possible version for Microsoft’s console. So far, there has been no official confirmation or denial.

Is Silent Hill: Townfall a temporary exclusive for PS5?

Silent Hill: Townfall, developed by Screen Burn, is shaping up to be one of the most innovative projects in the saga’s return. However, everything suggests that it could be a temporary console exclusive for PS5, at least at launch.

The most obvious precedent is Silent Hill 2 Remake, which arrived first on PlayStation and didn’t land on Xbox until a year later. This precedent fuels the theory that Konami might be repeating its strategy with this new installment.

Meanwhile, the Xbox community continues to wait for an official clarification. The lack of response doesn’t confirm anything, but it also doesn’t dispel the suspicions. If temporary exclusivity is confirmed, it wouldn’t be the first time the saga has taken this path in the current generation.
