Silent Hill F Update Adds a New Difficulty, Optional Skips and More

by

Silent Hill f has been updated with a new ‘Casual’ difficulty setting, the ability to skip certain parts when starting a new game after completing one, and several bug fixes.

Silent Hill f launched on September 25, 2025, and has become a commercial success, selling over one million copies. Rumors suggest it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch and older consoles, but there hasn’t been an official announcement yet. The developers have recently released a new update that includes fresh features and fixes several bugs.

Silent Hill f Difficulty Update Biggest Changes

The Silent Hill F Update introduces a new difficulty level called Casual. You can select this difficulty when you begin a new game or start a New Game+ playthrough. If you’re already playing on Story difficulty or higher, the Casual option will appear after experiencing the game-over screen several times.

This update adds optional skips for certain parts of New Game+. After installing the update, players who complete the “Go through the door” objective following the mural puzzle will have the option to skip ahead. If they choose to skip, the game will continue from the scene where Hinako wakes up in the Dark Shrine corridor for the second time, starting the “Proceed” objective.

Just a heads-up: if you skip parts of the game, you won’t get any items found in those sections. The achievements “Thankful to Be Here,” “Grateful for a Worthy Foe,” and “Clear Skies” also won’t unlock if you use the skip feature. Don’t worry, skipping sections won’t affect the story or how the game ends. You can find more details about the changes and bug fixes in the patch notes below.
