PlayStation users have to purchase the game from the PlayStation Store. Finally, Nintendo Switch 2 users have to buy the digital version of Hollow Knight Silksong from the official Nintendo store.

If you enjoy difficult platforming titles with a non-linear progression, you should buy Hollow Knight Silksong. Despite the major hype of the long-awaited release, the playable demo version at Gamescom 2025 has shown significant improvements to both movement and combat compared to the prequel. 

Hollow Knight is currently the highest top-rated Metroidvania title on Steam. If Silksong is anything like what the demo suggests, then there’s a strong chance fans will enjoy playing this sequel. You don’t even need to have played the previous title to enjoy Hollow Knight Silksong, as Hornet experiences a completely new story of her own.
