Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally been released, prompting unprecedented player engagement and crashing multiple online gaming platforms including Steam, the Switch eShop, and Xbox Store. Demand for the game reached such heights that it temporarily took these services offline. Celebrated for its high expectations, Silksong managed to surpass the peak player count of its predecessor, Hollow Knight, mere minutes after launching. While players are excited about features such as the free upgrade for Switch 2 owners, many encountered issues acquiring the game amid server outages. Despite these hiccups, the game is priced attractively at $19.99, drawing both series fans and newcomers alike.
