- Hollow Knight: Silksong was a huge success in the first day
- The demand for the game slowed down the PC showcase to a ramp
- After a day, its number of simultaneous players Pic is more than half a million
That Hollow knight: Silksong came out, it was impossible to contain the media threshing and the long -awaited game demand.
As we mentioned in our Silk song The live cover blog, the console and the PC windows – including Steam, Nintendo Eshop and the PlayStation Store – could not bear the weight of hundreds of thousands of players who descend them like a plague of game crickets.
Steam was particularly affected, users meeting a litany of problems. These included (but not limited to it) Silksong The storage page is not loaded, users unable to add the game to the basket and several game instances added to the basket, probably due to a furious click.
Now that dust has settled, however, the Steamdb online database has updated the statistics of the first day for Hollow Knight: Silksong. At the time of writing, the game reached a summit of simultaneous players of 535,213.
Not only is it a little more than the recent Battlefield 6 Open Beta (which reached a peak of 521,079 players), it is also the 18th higher number of simultaneous players at the record.
In addition, if you eliminate multiplayer -oriented games like Counter-Strike 2,, Monster Hunter WildsPUBG: Battlegrounds, And Dota 2, Silksong Seems to have the higher seventh than the advanced players who are among the games focused on the players. In this regard, it is only behind Baldur’s Gate 3,, Hogwarts inheritanceBanana (?), Elden ring,, Cyberpunk 2077,, And Black myth: Wukong.
And it is on steam alone. Personally, I bought the game from GOG for a version without DRM while Valve’s storefront completed under pressure. I also imagine Silk song did the same way on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S, in particular thanks to its launch of Xbox Game Dayun Pass.
