Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch Nerfs Thread Storm, Adds DualSense Edge Support on PC

If you’re still playing *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, you’ll be happy to hear that Team Cherry has adjusted one of the game’s most powerful abilities, Thread Storm. The change isn’t huge right away, but a small reduction in damage at higher Needle levels will affect players further into the game.

Update 1.0.28891 includes a variety of fixes and improvements, such as compatibility with DualSense Edge controllers on PC. The game will now automatically pause when your controller disconnects, preventing interruptions. We’ve also fixed an issue with the Curveclaw and corrected a rare bug that allowed players to unintentionally air dash or double jump.

You can find complete details about the latest update below. *Hollow Knight: Silksong* is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2, and is also included with Game Pass. Read our review of the game here. While Team Cherry hasn’t announced any free updates or downloadable content yet, they do have plans for more content in the future.
