Overview

• Developers say the first post-launch patch is primarily bug fixes with limited balance changes targeted at the opening hours, aiming to roll out mid next week.
• The update lowers difficulty for Moorwing and Sister Splinter, reduces Sandcarver damage, trims certain Bellway and bench costs, and boosts rosary rewards in specific cases.
• Critics note the adjustments are narrow in scope and argue they won’t resolve broader design choices that make the sequel feel more punishing than Hollow Knight.
• Public achievement data suggest steady progress despite the challenge, with roughly 87% of Steam players clearing the Bell Beast and high clears reported on PlayStation.
• Silksong’s launch drew exceptional engagement—crashing storefronts and topping 500,000 concurrent PC players—alongside strong reviews and early Game of the Year chatter.
