- Hollow Knight Silksong is now available across all platforms.
- The game has unexpectedly had a huge launch, leading to crashes and problems across all platforms.
- These outages appear to be the result of several years worth of excitement and buildup.
Hollow Knight Silksong marks one of 2025’s most anticipated releases. Ahead of the game’s initial debut, Hollow Knight already saw a major resurgence, suggesting a huge launch for the platform.
To nobody’s surprise, the game has already made waves within the first few minutes of its release. In fact, all major storefronts are currently experiencing outages due to Hollow Knight Silksong’s launch.
Why it matters: The entire industry was excited when Team Cherry confirmed it would release its latest title this year, but nobody thought the buzz would break massive platforms like Steam and PlayStation.
Several reports regarding the game’s impact have already flooded Twitter and other platforms. It seems Steam has been hit particularly hard, resulting in slow loading and outages in various cases.
We can also confirm that websites like SteamDB are extremely slow to load at the moment, and it appears Hollow Knight Silksong is to blame. Moreover, our attempts to buy the game have failed repeatedly over the last hour.
Other reports suggest that PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo storefronts are experiencing similar problems. This is so interesting since incredibly popular releases like Black Myth Wukong and Palworld did not have a similar impact on these platforms.
Also, the outages cannot be written off as simple coincidences since all platforms are going through a similar situation at the moment. Needless to say, it seems Hollow Knight Silksong’s excitement has engulfed the entire gaming world.
At the time of writing, the game has seen over 100K players on Steam alone. However, since the launch happened just one hour ago, this player count will likely rise much higher over the next 24 hours.
