Hollow Knight: Silksong is breaking Steam, Nintendo’s eShop

The much-anticipated release of the video game "Hollow Knight: Silksong" has caused a surge in demand, resulting in technical issues on both Steam and Nintendo's eShop. Valve's usually stable platform, Steam, has experienced difficulties in handling the influx of players trying to access the game. This is partly due to the lack of pre-loading options, which would have allowed players to download the game before the official release. Similarly, Nintendo's eShop has also faced challenges, with users reporting long wait times and difficulties in completing their purchases. Despite these technical hiccups, the game's popularity remains undiminished. "Hollow Knight: Silksong" is the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed "Hollow Knight," and its release has generated significant excitement among the gaming community. The issues faced by both platforms serve as a reminder of the challenges that can arise when a highly anticipated game is released, and the importance of infrastructure and planning to ensure a smooth launch experience for players.
