Hollow Knight: Silksong — Launch Day Update
After six years of waiting, Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially launched. Players worldwide headed to Steam and the Nintendo eShop to buy the game, and reports began appearing that some users experienced Steam outages or problems right around the release window.
What happened
Multiple social posts claimed Steam slowed or went down as fans rushed to purchase Silksong. However, broader confirmation is mixed — not all monitoring services showed widespread outages tied to the launch. We’ve reached out to Steam and will update this post if we learn more.
