"After eight long years, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally arrived. There's just one small problem: the biggest game release of 2025 is causing all sorts of issues for the Nintendo Switch 2 eShop and Steam store page. Fans racing to download the highly-anticipated Metroidvania sequel are stuck looking at error screens instead. The PlayStation and Xbox stores are getting hammered too."
"There's no word yet on whether this is just a momentary issue caused by the sudden surge in traffic or if something else is going on with Silksong's launch that could delay it further from i ts originally planned 10:00 a.m. ET debut. The game's arrival has been unique among modern releases with no advanced code provided to reviewers and everyone getting the chance to jump into the game and play it at the same time."
Hollow Knight: Silksong launched after eight years and immediately triggered access problems across multiple digital storefronts. Nintendo Switch 2 eShop and Steam storefronts showed error screens as large numbers of players attempted downloads. PlayStation and Xbox stores experienced heavy traffic and service strain as well. There is no confirmation whether the outages stem from temporary traffic surges or another issue that could delay the planned 10:00 a.m. ET launch. The launch featured no advance review code, allowing all players to attempt access simultaneously. Store availability remains the gating factor for players to begin playing the game.
