Hollow Knight: Silksong's highly anticipated release has caused significant strain on Valve's Steam platform, with server errors disrupting purchases. The game's $20 price point and top position on Steam's wishlist drove unprecedented demand, resulting in over 240,000 concurrent players at launch.
Platforms beyond Steam—including PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, and Nintendo eShop—also reported purchase issues, highlighting the game's cross-platform appeal. The surge in traffic even trended the phrase 'Steam Down' across social media and search engines.
