Hollow Knight: Silksong Has Already Surpassed 4.2 Million In Sales - Report

Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular game Hollow Knight, has already surpassed 4.2 million in sales across various platforms, according to reports. The game has seen tremendous success, with over 5 million players in just a few days, including downloads on Game Pass. The game's sales estimates show that it has sold 3.2 million copies on Steam, 500,000 each on PlayStation 4/5 and Nintendo Switch, and an estimated 1.5 million downloads on Xbox Game Pass. This impressive performance has even pushed the sales of the original Hollow Knight, which has sold over 15 million copies to date. However, the game's sudden release has caused some industry grumbling, with the creative director of the game Hell is Us claiming that the short notice negatively impacted his game's sales. Additionally, some players have found Silksong to be too difficult, leading to the release of mods and a patch from the developers to lower the game's difficulty and address bugs.
