Silent Hill 2 Remake received a 1.04 patch recently, which unfortunately caused a Labyrinth breaking bug for both PC and PS5 users.
The Silent Hill 2 Remake recently released a 1.04 patch for Steam and PlayStation 5, an update aiming to fix technical and gaming issues. However, after the update rolled in, it introduced a new game-breaking bug that left players stuck in the Labyrinth section.
Players who had their last save in the Labyrinth before the patch reported being unable to progress after reaching the rotating cube puzzle. Despite repeatedly loading their last save, they found they couldn’t access the second area.
