Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now, but the huge rush to buy and download the game has caused some storefronts to crash.
Steam, for example, is struggling to cope with the influx of customers, with Silksong’s store page currently resulting in an error page. All this, remember, for a $20 indie game.
IGN staff report trouble trying to buy Silksong from the Nintendo eShop, the PlayStation Store, and Xbox. Silksong is a day-one Game Pass title, and it is so far unavailable on the subscription service.
Silksong is one of the most anticipated games of 2025. It finally launches today, September 4, over six years after its initial announcement and as the most wishlisted game on Steam.
While you wait for storefronts to recover, be sure to check out IGN's Silksong coverage, which includes the story of the superfan behind the YouTube Channel Daily Silksong News, who can finally rest after an incredible 1,693 days of videos.
And if you're playing (or replaying) Hollow Knight before Silksong, take a look at IGN's newly refreshed Hollow Knight walkthrough and detailed Hollow Knight interactive map to make sure you don't miss any collectible locations.
