Expert Verified By

Silksong Is Delivering All The Hype!

Story Highlight
  • Hollow Knight: Silksong released 3 days ago and has already reached 5 million players.
  • It has also sold 3 million copies on Steam, generating over $50 million in revenue.
  • The sales figures on other platforms, like Nintendo, also seem to be really promising.

Hollow Knight: Silksong was perhaps the most-awaited indie game of all time. Announced in 2019, the game experienced a prolonged absence before finally receiving a 2025 release window. After years of waiting, it seems it was all worth the wait

In just 3 days since its release, Hollow Knight: Silksong has surpassed 5 million players across all platforms. It became such a massive hit at launch that it crashed the storefronts of almost all available platforms. 

Why it matters: The first Hollow Knight was a massive success, praised for its wonderful gameplay and environment. Naturally, the hype for the title was high, and the results speak for themselves. 

Hollow Knight: Silksong has managed to break past 5 million players in just 3 days

According to data from Alinea Analytics, Silksong has surpassed 5 million players. While they don’t have figures for all platforms, on Steam, it has sold over 3 million copies, hit a CCU of 587K players, and generated $50 million in revenues. 

Moreover, it is also available on Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. Switch also seems like a very natural console to play such kinds of games, so we can expect it to sell well on that, too.

The title has also managed a whopping 3 million copies sold on Steam already

It is truly remarkable how big the franchise has become since it was first revealed. Many criticized it and claimed it is poised to fail. Years later, it is now the biggest indie launch of this year and has even outpaced many AAA releases. 

This also reignites the discussion about how indie games are slowly taking over the industry. Games like REPO, Schedule I, and now Silksong have dominated this year, and it seems that it will continue down the line.
