Hollow Knight Silksong is out, and it's broken the entire internet

Overview

  • Silksong is live on PS4/PS5, Xbox One/Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC via Steam and GOG for $19.99, with day-one access on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Unlock times hit 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET / 3 p.m. BST, and the lack of preloads contributed to early errors and slowdowns across major storefronts at release.
  • Team Cherry declined preorders and advance review codes, so reviews and guides will arrive post-launch as players experience the game simultaneously.
  • PC supports ultrawide up to 21:9; the soundtrack features 53 tracks with backers receiving it at launch, and trailers tout 200+ enemies and roughly 40 bosses.
  • Player interest surged immediately, with Silksong drawing a top-tier Twitch audience and thousands of concurrent Steam players despite initial store hiccups.
