"SteamDB tracks heaps of fun Steam data, including how many people are currently playing any given game. Even though it only launched a couple of hours ago, Hollow Knight: Silksong has already peaked at an incredible 535,213 concurrent players on Steam. The first game, Hollow Knight, only ever managed to hit 72,916 concurrent Steam players, which it achieved just one day ago due to the insane hype surrounding Silkgsong sending people scurrying back to the first game."
"At the time of writing, Silksong's half a million players means It's beating out PUBG, and is only behind DOTA 2 and Counter Strike 2 in terms of people playing right this instant. But the game's actual player count must be vastly more impressive, because it launched across Switch, Xbox and PlayStation as well. It's also available on Game Pass, so who knows how many more people are playing via that. It could potentially be millions."
Hollow Knight: Silksong peaked at 535,213 concurrent players on Steam shortly after launch, far surpassing the original Hollow Knight's 72,916 concurrent peak. Silksong's Steam peak placed it ahead of PUBG and only behind DOTA 2 and Counter Strike 2 in live PC player counts. The game launched on multiple platforms including Switch, Xbox and PlayStation and is available on Game Pass, suggesting total player numbers across platforms may reach into the millions. The release experienced a slightly wonky start but attracted massive player interest and appears poised to become one of the best-selling indie games.
