Silent Hill Townfall launched on Steam and PlayStation 5 in September and has become a major success, surpassing 404,000 sales in its first month despite being cracked before release. The game generated $20.2 million in revenue on PlayStation alone, with 42.8% of those sales coming from physical copies. PlayStation accounted for 70.9% of the game’s total revenue, while Steam and GOG made up the remaining 29.1%. According to Alinea Analytics, all physical retail copies sold out, indicating strong demand exceeding supply.
The horror genre continues to thrive on Steam, earning $1.3 billion in 2026 so far—a 17% increase over 2025. New releases drove 41% of that total, led by Resident Evil Requiem, which brought in $211.3 million on Steam alone. The title has exceeded $500 million in total revenue, with physical sales making up 30.8% of its PlayStation sales. Despite Townfall’s strong revenue, its Steam player peak was modest at 8,360 concurrent users, compared to Resident Evil Requiem’s 344,000 peak. The data underscores the enduring appeal of physical media and the growing dominance of horror games in 2026.
