Team Cherry recently launched a big update for *Hollow Knight: Silksong* and has now released a new version for beta testing on Steam and GOG. This update includes a ‘Dithering’ effect designed to minimize color banding, though it might make objects in the foreground appear slightly softer.
This feature is turned off by default, so you’ll need to activate it in the Advanced video settings. We’ve also fixed a couple of bugs: one that sometimes caused the Savage Beastfly to fall under the lava, and another that rarely made the Shrine Guardian Seth wander outside the battle area. If you were having trouble getting the Reaper Crest because the Silk Snippers kept going out of bounds, that issue has been resolved as well.
The Plasmium Phial and Flea brew will now refill when you rest on a bench. Also, the Curveclaw weapon shouldn’t break after being deflected on the initial hit. You can find a complete list of changes below, but keep an eye out for more updates before the patch is released on all platforms.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and both Nintendo Switch models. It quickly gained popularity, reportedly reaching over five million players within its first three days, and has received widespread praise from critics. You can find our review here.
