Hollow Knight: Silksong Reportedly Crossed 5 Million Players in 3 Days

by

The release of Hollow Knight: Silksong has garnered a legendary status comparable to its lengthy development time. On debut, numerous platforms such as Steam experienced intense server congestion. While Team Cherry hasn’t provided official sales figures yet, Rhys Elliott of Alinea Analytics estimates that more than 5 million players have joined within the first three days.

On Steam, it’s reported that Hollow Knight sold over 3 million copies, generating around $50 million in revenue. The US and China were the primary markets for this game. It appears that roughly three-quarters of the platform’s owners are fans of Hollow Knight. Interestingly, nearly half of these players have dabbled in Elden Ring, while about a third have interacted with Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as well.

In relation to other independent games, it’s said that approximately 36% of players have tried Dead Cells. Given this, criticisms about its difficulty might be less common than anticipated, as many players who enjoy challenging titles are likely among them.

The game titled “Hollow Knight: Silksong” is currently accessible on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch platforms. Priced at $19.99, you can get it now. Next week, developers Team Cherry plan to roll out a patch that will weaken two early game bosses and boost the amount of currency in-game. For those playing on PC, this update is already available in the public beta branch on Steam and GOG.
