The latest insider to talk about the rumoredSilent HillPS5 game is Jeff Grubb, who said that there is a “really strong chance” that the game is a PS5 exclusive, as rumored.Silent Hillbeing a PS5 exclusivehas been one of the most consistent rumors about the game since the leaks started, and so it would be surprising if the game is announced as a multi-platform or cross-gen title at this stage.
The biggestSilent Hillleak occurred just recently when alleged photos of the project leaked online. TheSilent Hillleaked imageswhere shared by AestheticGamer, a Twitter user who is known for their inside information on survival-horror franchises, particularlyResident Evil.
