Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong With Early Access?
No, Team Cherry has not provided any early access options for Hollow Knight: Silksong, so the release date and time are the same for everyone.
In fact, Team Cherry has taken a pretty firm stance to ensure that players around the world all have access to the game at the same time, as no review codes are being distributed to media and content creators. As such, the review embargo is on the day of release.
This means that regardless of your platform of choice, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable at the exact same moment as other platforms, as well as players worldwide.
Exact details on the release are yet to be confirmed, as pre-orders for Hollow Knight: Silksong remain unavailable at the time of writing. However, you can set the game to preload on Xbox so it installs when it becomes available.
Is There Any Way to Play Hollow Knight: Silksong Early?
No, Hollow Knight: Silksong is not available to play early through any means following the conclusion of Gamescom.
Hollow Knight: Silksong had a playable demo for attendees at Gamescom, though it was not available to download for those who couldn’t be in attendance.
This means that there’s no way to jump the queue and play Hollow Knight: Silksong before anyone else, with Team Cherry keeping their cards very close to their chest. However, it should be well worth the wait, as it’s expected to be one of the biggest games of the year.
