Silent Hill 2 Remakeshowcases stunning visuals that perfectly complement the game’s grim and dark atmosphere. While the default color palette provides an immersive experience for your first playthrough, the game also offers various filters. These filters dramatically alter your screen, transforming the mood of the game by adjusting colors, effects, and more. Here’s how to unlock all filters in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
List of All Filters in Silent Hill 2 Remake
There are ten filters in total, but only the default filter (the standard game look) is available from the beginning. Here’s a breakdown of the filters you’re able to unlock:

How to Unlock Filters in Silent Hill 2 Remake
To unlock the nine additional filters in the game, you’ll need to complete Silent Hill 2 Remake at least once. After that, all filters become available for use.
Since the game features a total of eight endings, repeating the runs in New Game Plus mode with the default filter applied could make things boring and repetitive. All eight endings require you to collect different items that become available as you play New Game Plus Mode. This is also hinted at during your first playthrough as you play the game.
With the rest of the nine filters, you have the option to transform how the visuals on the screen look, basically changing things a bit and making them appear differently. Who knows, you may find some filters better than the default one.
How to Change Filters in Silent Hill 2 Remake
To change filters, pause the game and head to theDisplay & Graphics menu. From there, navigate to the Graphics Mode tab. When you start, you’ll see “Default” as the only option. But once you’ve unlocked all the filters by completing the game, the full list of 10 filters will appear for selection in this menu.
You can change filters at any time using this method—no need to return to the main menu or reload the game for the changes to take effect.
One thing to note:If you activate Colorblind Mode, all filters will be disabled, as the two features cannot be used together.
Should You Change Filters?
While the game gives you the option to change the visuals based on the filter you select, things may not be as appealing as you think. For example, we tried the Black and White filter and it made most objects very dark and a few objects were not even recognizable due to the complete removal of colors other than just the black and white.
While it is appreciated to have the filters in Silent Hill 2 Remake, most players will not benefit from using them in the New Game Plus Mode.
That is pretty much everything you need to know about all filters and how to get them in Silent Hill 2 Remake. While you are at it, for more tips consider reading our guide aboutHow to Reduce the DLSS Ghosting in Silent Hill 2 Remake.
