Silent Hill 2 Mods Add DLSS Frame Generation, Various Graphics Tweaks, and Remove 30FPS Lock in Cutscenes

The Silent Hill 2 remake is officially out, and plenty of mods have already been released to improve the game in various ways on PC. We've reported on the AMD FSR Frame Generation and NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction tweak, and now there's also an NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation mod released by none other than PureDark. As usual with his DLSS Frame Generation mods, you'll have to be a Patreon backer to get it.

There are also several mods that improve various graphics and technical aspects of the Silent Hill 2 remake. For example, modder SammiLucia already posted their 'Ultra Plus' overhaul, which we've previously seen in games like Hogwarts Legacy, Days Gone, Cyberpunk 2077, Robocop: Rogue City, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Here's an overview of the improvements:
