"Of course, you're smart, so you'll have already clocked that I said players and not sales. These days, a lot of developers and publishers only talk about player counts, which can be frustrating. Thankfully, Alinea can help us out there, too. According to their data, the game has sold 3m copies on Steam, resulting in revenue of $50 million. That's in just 3 days."
"Review aggregator Opencritic currently lists the game as having an impressive score of 98, which makes it the highest-scoring game of the year by a margin of 4 points, beating out the likes of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, this is based on just 10 critic reviews at the moment, because Team Cherry opted not to send out review keys prior to launch. That means a lot of the big publications like IGN and Youtubers such as SkillUp"
Hollow Knight: Silksong has reached an estimated 5 million players across all platforms, with roughly 1 million coming from Game Pass on Xbox and PC. Alinea Analytics reports 3 million copies sold on Steam, generating about $50 million in revenue within three days. Combining those figures implies around 4 million total sales when accounting for Game Pass and likely console and Switch purchases. Alinea uses proprietary methods, so third-party numbers may be imprecise pending confirmation from Team Cherry. OpenCritic currently lists a score of 98 based on ten critic reviews, making it the highest-scoring game of 2025 so far.
