## Summary

Silent Hill: Townfall update 1.6 adds a Hard mode to the PS5 game, giving players a difficulty between Normal and Nightmare. The developers say it emphasises stealth, patience and careful resource use, expanding the choices available to players.

The update also rebalances gameplay across all four difficulty settings to create a smoother curve. It follows earlier changes to a challenging enemy and a late-game puzzle; the article’s reviewer says those fixes were needed but considers the general Normal-mode difficulty fair. Some players have also questioned changes to Nightmare mode, including adding map position.
