Silent Hill: Townfall is shaping up to be one of the best-looking games of 2026. From lifelike buildings to immaculate lighting that brings its gloomy interiors to life, all of which is topped off by absolutely dread-inducing neon red piercing the unnatural fog that envelops St. Amelia.
Put simply, Silent Hill: Townfall looks gorgeous. However, like Silent Hill f, it’s built on Unreal Engine 5. Although Silent Hill f was surprisingly well-optimized on consoles, most UE5 games tend to suffer from performance and optimization issues, regardless of platform.
Silent Hill: Townfall features a 30fps graphics mode and 60fps performance mode on PS5 Pro. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of targeted resolution for either mode, nor is there a 40 fps mode that is becoming increasingly common (and popular) among PlayStation’s first- and second-party titles. That said, you can look forward to a plethora of PS5 Pro exclusive features.
Quick Summary
- Silent Hill: Townfall on PS5 Pro features a graphics mode and a performance mode.
- It supports ray tracing.
- It has ultra-wide support.
- It utilizes DualSense features such as Haptics Feedback and Gryoscope.
All Silent Hill: Townfall PS5 Pro features explained
On PS5 Pro, Silent Hill: Townfall supports ultra-wide angles. It uses a 2.35:1 aspect ratio to provide a cinematic experience. Ray tracing is enabled in both the regular world and the Otherworld, though its extent is currently unclear.
It’s also unclear whether ray tracing is enabled in both quality and performance modes or only the former.
Fortunately, on both PS5 and PS5 Pro, Silent Hill: Townfall utilizes the DualSense controller’s Haptics feedback and gyroscope, both of which were noticeably underutilized in Silent Hill 2 remake and Silent Hill f.
Haptics add more intensity to combat. Smashing a wooden plank on an enemy should feel crunchier, compared to past titles. Gyroscope is used for certain controls and should make them more tactile.
The CRTV is a vital gameplay tool in Silent Hill: Townfall, and with motion controls enabled, you’ll need to physically move and twist the controller to tune into various radio signals.
Interestingly, firearms also support motion controls. To add an extra layer of tension, you can move the controller to aim and land your shots.
