Silent Hill 2 Remake: How to Turn off the Radio

As a seasoned gamer who’s weathered countless storms of pixelated terror, I can say with certainty that the Radio Silence trophy in the Silent Hill 2 remake is a chilling challenge indeed. Having survived my fair share of jumpscares and unsettling encounters, I can attest to the importance of that trusty radio as an early warning system in the fog-shrouded town.


To stand a better chance of earning the coveted platinum trophy in the remake of Silent Hill 2, players should kick off their journey early, focusing on the radio from the outset. The Radio Silence trophy poses a slight challenge, but it’s easy to miss if you’re not mindful of the trophy conditions during your initial playthrough.

As a dedicated gamer diving into Silent Hill 2, to snag that elusive Radio Silence trophy, all you need is a dash of courage and a willingness to embrace darkness. However, beware! This tiny alteration could cast a long shadow over your future gaming experiences. You’ll venture forth blindly, unsure of what horrors lurk in the shadows until they spring upon poor James with a startling scream.

How to Turn Off the Radio in Silent Hill 2

To win the “Radio Silence” award, gamers should disable the radio as soon as possible after acquiring it. The radio is found by following the mysterious figure through the town of Silent Hill shrouded in fog. Once players get the radio, they need to press the ‘Options’ or ‘Tab’ key to open the Inventory screen. Inside this screen, they should scroll through to the Equipment section and select ‘X’ or ‘E’ to turn off the radio. If players do not disable the radio before meeting their first enemy, they will have missed the trophy requirements and either need to start a new game or continue in New Game Plus.

In this game, listening to the radio can help signal when monsters are approaching because it emits a static sound. Without the radio, players must rely solely on their sight and hearing to detect potential threats. Although it’s not as difficult as playing without ranged weapons, relying on visual and auditory cues alone can make you more susceptible to sudden scares from hidden enemies like mannequins.
