"Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially available for purchase, after six long years of waiting. The anticipation is at a fever pitch. Fans have swarmed to Steam to purchase the game and, well, it looks like they overloaded the system and shut it down. Multiple social media users and data from services like DownDetector are noting that the service is down for many people, with a massive spike in reports pretty much the moment Silksong became available."
"This could be a coincidence but it's probably not. Silksong is one of the hottest releases in recent memory. In any event, we've reached out to Steam and will update this post when we hear back or when the platform has returned. Congrats to those who already got their hands on the game."
Hollow Knight: Silksong launched for purchase following six years of anticipation. Intense player demand produced a sharp surge of traffic to Steam immediately after release. Multiple social media users and monitoring services such as DownDetector registered a significant spike in outage reports tied to the release window. The surge appears to have overloaded the Steam platform, leaving many users unable to access the service. Some players successfully purchased the game amid scattered confirmations, while status updates from Steam remained pending as users awaited restoration of service.
