Downloadable now across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Silent Hill f update 1.10 is the biggest one that the game has received yet. The most prominent new element of this patch is the addition of Casual mode, which is a lower-level difficulty option that players can choose from. Other than this, Konami has also added the ability to skip certain sequences of Silent Hill f when being replayed on New Game+ mode.
While these two features are wholly new to Silent Hill f, they have been joined by some smaller refinements to the game. Namely, Konami has reduced the amount of unskippable combat encounters and has scaled back the number of enemies that are present in select locations. Other tweaks to Hinako’s stamina and health have been made alongside a variety of bug fixes.
To get a look at everything that has been changed with this new Silent Hill f update today, you can view the full patch notes below.
Silent Hill f Update 1.10 Patch Notes
New Features
–Added Action Difficulty: Casual

– Added Optional Skip Feature for Select Sections of New Game+
Upon completing the “Go through the door” objective after solving the mural puzzle on New Game+, the game will display the option to skip. The game will resume at the scene where Hinako awakens at the corridor of the Dark Shrine for the second time with the “Proceed” objective if skipped.
