The long wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong is rapidly approaching a conclusion after a release date for the title was finally announced after years of waiting.
Hollow Knight: Silksong releases on September 4, bringing an end to years of development, and the desire to get hands-on with the game is understandable, with our verdict being that Hollow Knight: Silksong is worth the wait.
Now, players around the world are preparing for the launch and want to know if pre-orders are available, which we’ve got all the details for here.
Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Available to Pre-Order?

No, Hollow Knight: Silksong is not currently available to pre-order or purchase on any storefront.
With the long-awaited release date of the title on the horizon, the desire to secure a copy of Hollow Knight: Silksong is understandable. However, for the time being at least, you’ll need to be patient for a little while longer for pre-order details to emerge.
None of the platforms where Hollow Knight: Silksong is currently available has pre-orders listed. However, those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription can add the title to their ‘Play Later’ section, which should pre-download the full game before release.
That will likely change as the release date of September 4 edges closer, so keep an eye out for pre-order details to emerge.
Can You Preload Hollow Knight: Silksong?
Preloading Hollow Knight: Silksong is not currently available on any platform, though this will likely change as the release date approaches.
As mentioned above, storefronts do not currently have Hollow Knight: Silksong listed and available to purchase, which means that preloading the title is also out of the question for the time being.
The closest option to preloading currently available is through the Microsoft store, which has a ‘Get Game Pass’ button beneath the title alongside a note that confirms the title is “coming soon to Game Pass.” If you already have Game Pass, clicking this option will provide details of your subscription.
Preloading Hollow Knight: Silksong in full should be an available option provided before the launch period, and, with less than two weeks until the title releases at the time of writing, it shouldn’t be a long wait.
Will Hollow Knight: Silksong live up to the hype and be a Game of the Year contender? Let us know your thoughts in the Insider Gaming forum.
