It's only two years and three months later than promised, but Xbox Game Pass is finally getting Hollow Knight: Silksong this week, alongside a highly beloved Metroidvania releasing the day prior.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced back in early 2019, and by the time 2022 came around, the fanbase was already feral for news, to say the least. And there was a massive ray of hope at Microsoft's 2022 Xbox and Bethesda showcase, which had Xbox's Sarah Bond say every game featured will be playable within 12 months. Hollow Knight Silksong was confirmed for Xbox Game Pass during that show, and now, 39 months after that showcase, the game is releasing this week.
