Hollow Knight: Silksong's Nintendo Switch 2 performance is staggering, with a 120Hz TV Mode that lets you carve your way through Hollownest like a hot knife through butter

Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is almost here. Well, a dedicated special announcement is coming tomorrow, August 21, so that's nearly here at least. Anyway. People have been able to get their hands on it at Gamescom 2025, and they're reporting it has a 120Hz mode on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Yesterday, during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, we got a glimpse of some more Silksong gameplay. It definitely looked more like Silksong, that's for sure. But in Nintendo Life's hands-on preview of the upcoming Metroidvania, they noted it had a 120Hz option when in TV Mode. This has a "higher frame rate mode for displays that support 120Hz," but it does come at the cost of a lower resolution.
