Silksong is upon us – at least 111,873 of us. The launch of Hollow Knight: Silksong has brought various gaming storefronts to their knees as legions of Silkposters emerge from their caves to actually play the long-awaited Metroidvania.
With the caveat that Silksong launched midday in the midst of the work week, SteamDB shows a peak concurrent player count of 111,873 just hours after launch. That appears to be the peak for now, and while most indies would love to achieve that kind of day-one figure, it's still well short of any major Steam records, and puts Silksong as the 166th biggest concurrent player number in Steam history. We'll see how the number evolves as the day rolls on, though.
