Overview

• The studio says a primarily bug-fix update with slight early-game balance changes is slated to reach all players mid next week.
• Patch notes cite a slight difficulty reduction for Moorwing and Sister Splinter, lower damage from Sandcarvers, reduced Bellway and Bell Bench prices in mid-game areas, and increased rosary rewards for specific activities.
• Coverage characterizes the update as narrowly focused, with critics arguing it will not resolve deeper design choices that emphasize punishing pacing and a tight currency economy.
• Silksong’s launch was exceptionally large, with reports of storefront outages and more than 500,000 concurrent PC players tracked by SteamDB, with active counts reportedly staying above 250,000 since release.
• Player reaction remains split, with some praising Team Cherry’s responsiveness while others adopt mods that soften difficulty on PC.
