"Silent Hill f Banned in Australia: Receives 'Refused Classification' Rating"

Author : Noah May 12,2025

Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, receiving a "Refused Classification" rating from the Australian Classification Board. This decision means that the game will not be available for sale, hire, advertisement, or legal import within the country. The reasons behind this stringent rating remain somewhat elusive, as the board's now-private publication post offered little insight into their decision. According to the Australian Classification Board, materials rated "Refused Classification" (RC) contain content that falls outside generally accepted community standards and surpasses the limits of the R 18+ and X 18+ ratings.

In contrast, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in North America rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing reasons such as blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity. The ESRB's detailed rating summary highlighted elements like frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks that impale the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art featuring a nude mannequin as justification for this rating.
