Years of waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong are finally coming to a close with a release date announced, which may have alarmed those unsure of what platforms the title will release on, but we have all the details.
Set to land on September 4, our hands-on preview with Hollow Knight: Silksong showed it was well worth the wait, with years of development paying off.
With a release now on the horizon, here are all the details you need on the platforms that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS5?
Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PlayStation 5 at launch.
Silksong has one of the widest releases in recent years, touching almost every platform imaginable, and PS5 is set to take an important role. This is despite the fact that a lot of the marketing attention has been from Microsoft and Nintendo, which may have confused you into thinking it was platform-exclusive for the pair.
That isn’t the case, however, and Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PS5.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong on Xbox Series X|S?
Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on Xbox Series X|S, with Microsoft having played a big role in marketing for the title.
Not only will Silksong be available on the platform, but those with an active Game Pass subscription will be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong on release without paying an additional fee—perhaps giving Xbox an edge over other titles.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong on PC?
Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PC through various storefronts, so you can choose your favorite.
Those with a PC Game Pass subscription will be able to play Hollow Knight: Silksong for no additional fee through the Xbox App, and you can add the title to your Steam launcher through this service, if you’d prefer.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch?
Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on both the original Nintendo Switch console and Nintendo Switch 2 at launch.
In fact, the Nintendo family of consoles will be the first to receive physical editions early in 2026, for those who want to add to their physical games library, before later releasing a physical version of Hollow Knight: Silksong on other platforms.
Can You Play Hollow Knight: Silksong on PS4 and Xbox One?
Yes, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available on PS4 and Xbox One, meaning those yet to upgrade to current-gen consoles won’t miss out.
Though it may come as a surprise that a huge title like Hollow Knight: Silksong is releasing on last-gen platforms, remember that the game has been in development for seven years. Therefore, development would have begun on these consoles before switching over to new-gen models.
