2017’s Hollow Knight simply reached a brand new all-time peak concurrent-player report on Steam, and the achievement got here simply after developer Crew Cherry introduced the discharge date for its sequel, Silksong.
Hollow Knight reached an all-time peak concurrent record of 23,819 on Steam today, August 22. Measuring a sport’s reputation by Steam concurrent numbers is rarely an ideal or full encapsulation of a sport’s reputation, and Hollow Knight being an solely single-player sport that does not depend on folks taking part in on the similar time muddies the waters as properly. However what is clear right here is that Hollow Knight’s reputation on Steam is rising within the wake of the large Silksong reveal.
Hollow Knight’s beforehand Steam concurrent report of round 20,000 gamers was achieved in Might 2022. All of this information comes from SteamDB.
Steam’s personal gross sales information reveals that Hollow Knight jumped into the top 50 overall best-selling games on the platform. The sport can be accessible on console platforms, however gross sales or engagement information just isn’t accessible. Hollow Knight can be accessible on Recreation Go (and Silksong will likely be as properly).
At the very least three video games have already been delayed due, partially, to Silksong. The sport is about for launch on September 4, and it has been a very long time coming.
“Hollow Knight: Silksong seems to be precisely what all of us ought to have anticipated: a robust, well-designed, visually pretty sport that carries ahead the aesthetic and design philosophies of the unique with considerate, if not earth-shattering, updates,” GameSpot’s Steve Watts wrote after going hands-on with Silksong at Gamescom this week.
