The impending Silksong release date drives droves of fans back to the OG Hollow Knight, which has doubled its Steam player peak 8 years after launch

Hollow Knight: Silksong.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is right around the corner, but thousands of players are flocking back to the original metroidvania to get reacquainted with the world, see what all the overwhelming hype is about, or just quieten the Silksong cravings.

On Friday night, the original Hollow Knight had already reached a new personal record for peak concurrent Steam players with over 20,000 bug-squashers logged in at the same time. Since then, that record has almost doubled. On Sunday evening that number is now at 39, 356 concurrent players.
