Now that we can catch our breath, the numbers are in, and it’s absolutely mind-blowing!
On the very first day, within just a few hours, more than 400,000 players were diving into Hollow Knight: Silksong simultaneously on Steam, with it now going well over 500,000 players – what an amazing start!
The original Hollow Knight made a mark in the indie gaming world, racking up an impressive 15 million units sold worldwide! The excitement surrounding Silksong has been building for years, and its launch at such an accessible price of around $19.99 has only added to the love from the gaming community.
