The long-awaited sequel to the cult metroidvania Hollow Knight: Silksong took place exactly on time - September 4, 2025, at 17:00 Moscow time. However, not everyone was able to download and launch the game right away: the influx of players brought down digital stores on major platforms. Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store and Nintendo eShop experienced outages.
It is assumed that the reason was the rush demand and the lack of pre-loading - hundreds of thousands of fans began downloading the project simultaneously in the first minutes after the launch. As a rule, such problems are resolved very quickly. For example, Steam fixes glitches from several minutes to an hour, and therefore soon everyone will be able to try out the project, you just need to be patient.
Despite the technical difficulties, interest in the game was colossal. Already in the first hour after the start of sales, the number of people playing simultaneously on Steam exceeded 100 thousand people, which makes Hollow Knight: Silksong one of the loudest launches of September.
