Mouse Cursor Briefly Appears in Hollow Knight: Silksong Cutscene, Confirmed by Players and Press

Outlets say the fleeting cursor is a harmless visual oversight that does not affect gameplay.

Overview

  • A small on-screen cursor is visible for a moment at the top edge of a late-game Silksong cutscene, tinted by the scene’s lighting and moving with the shot.
  • The discovery originated on the Silksong subreddit, where user SooperWooper7044 highlighted the brief appearance.
  • GamesRadar+ verified the find across multiple cutscene and walkthrough videos, and a Vice reporter confirmed it by checking their own copy.
  • Dexerto reported the cursor is present in several public playthroughs, reinforcing that the issue is reproducible.
  • Coverage frames the slip as a non-gameplay issue with no reported response from Team Cherry, and fans have made light of it with comparisons to Pokémon Sword and Shield’s similar oversight.
