Some gamers have managed to obtain copies of the game through online marketplaces or by using PS4 game backup and restore techniques.

In 2014, gamers were abuzz with excitement when a new Silent Hill game, titled P.T. (Playable Teaser), was released as a free download for PlayStation 4 users. The game was a collaboration between Konami and Guillermo del Toro, a renowned film director known for his work on horror classics like Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth. However, just a few days after its release, Konami mysteriously pulled P.T. from the PlayStation Store, leaving fans with a lingering sense of unease and a strong desire to experience the game for themselves.
