The long-anticipated indie game Hollow Knight: Silksong generated significant buzz from its launch. Fans flocked to platforms where the game was available immediately, causing the servers on major platforms like Steam, Xbox Store, and Nintendo eShop to crash due to the overwhelming demand.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Receives Massive Appearance

The eagerly awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong hit shelves today. Given the impact the first game had on the indie gaming world, the demand for the sequel was expected. However, the surge in demand, which began in the evening, far exceeded expectations.

Many players began experiencing access issues on their gaming platforms. Players struggled to access Steam, Xbox Store, and Nintendo eShop, and were unable to purchase or download the game. Outages on platforms like Google, Cloudflare, and Spotify in the morning initially led to speculation that a similar issue might be the source.

However, outages quickly erupted on both Xbox and Nintendo, indicating that the issue was directly related to Hollow Knight: Silksong. Sources like GameRant have also confirmed this information.

It’s been known for a long time that Hollow Knight: Silksong would reach a significant audience upon its release. Some game studios even delayed their own game release dates for this reason. This situation has once again proven how wise these postponements were.
