Hollow Knight: Silksong Surpasses 7 Million Copies in Three Months
Hollow Knight: Silksong has achieved a remarkable milestone, selling over 7 million copies within just three months of its release. This impressive figure excludes players who accessed the game through Xbox Game Pass, making the achievement even more notable.
Sales Milestone
The game’s popularity was anticipated due to its consistent presence on Steam’s most‑wishlisted games. Team Cherry, the developers, expressed their astonishment and gratitude for the game’s success. “It’s a truly staggering number of players, more than we could have ever expected,” they said in a blog post.
Future Expansion
The developers also announced a free expansion for next year, promising new areas, bosses, tools, and more. With a free expansion on the horizon, fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong have even more to look forward to.
Comparison with Other Games
While Hollow Knight: Silksong’s sales are impressive, it is not the bestselling game of the year. Battlefield 6 sold as many copies in just three days, and the indie hit Peak has sold around 14 million copies since its launch. However, the success of Silksong is a testament to its quality and the dedication of its developers.
Community Impact
The game’s impact on the community has been significant, with players creating amazing art, mods, and strategies. Team Cherry has been motivated by the continued enthusiasm and support from the players as they work towards expanding the game even further.
