The launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong on Steam this morning was plagued by widespread server issues, with many players reporting errors purchasing and downloading the game. DownDetector showed a massive spike in Steam outage reports, coinciding with the release. While some players successfully accessed the game, others experienced delays or errors downloading other titles and syncing cloud saves. The Humble Store reported running out of Steam keys for North America, and the Nintendo eShop also experienced outages. The PlayStation Store has yet to list the game.
