Hollow Knight: Silksong's Steam concurrent players surpass 562,000, a record for a $20 indie game, continuing to climb. Simultaneously, the original Hollow Knight is also reaching new peak player counts, exceeding 85,000 concurrent players. While Silksong lacks critic reviews, fan reception is positive (8.9 on Metacritic, 82% positive on Steam), though some cite increased difficulty. Both games' player counts are rapidly increasing, entering the Game of the Year conversation.
