The recent presentation of Silent Hill Townfall has left mixed feelings. While many celebrate the return of the saga with a new proposal developed by Annapurna, part of the Xbox community has reacted with evident discomfort after checking that, for now, there is no version for Xbox in the release.

The controversy has erupted especially in forums and social media, where several users have expressed their frustration at not seeing the platform mentioned in the first official lists of digital stores. In some messages, the situation is described as “ridiculous”, while others recall that something similar happened with previous installments of the saga, such as Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill Townfall does not appear for Xbox at launch and the community reacts

• In recent discussion threads, several players point out that the reservation and wishlist pages only show versions for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). This has led many to assume that it would be a temporary exclusivity, possibly for a year, following a pattern already seen with other titles in the franchise.

Some users believe that it will eventually arrive, ensuring that “it will eventually happen“, while others point to possible commercial agreements or strategic decisions behind this initial absence. There are also those who raise technical doubts related to optimization for Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, although there is no official confirmation in this regard.

The truth is that, to date, Konami has not announced a version for Xbox in the launch of Silent Hill Townfall. This has generated a sense of inequality among part of the public, especially considering that in recent months there have been significant multi-platform movements in the industry.

We will have to wait for future official communications to know if we are facing a temporary exclusivity or if the announcement for Xbox will arrive later. Meanwhile, the conversation continues to grow and the discontent of some players is evident.
