Silksong is really close. The most hyped game of the last few years, currently the most wishlisted on Steam, is releasing soon. Players like me are avoiding starting new games before it launches, while game devs delay releases in fear that Silksong will kill them on arrival.

What is Silksong’s exact release date and time?

Silksong releases at 9am U.S. Central Time on Thursday, Sept. 4, in all regions and all platforms at once. Check out our Silksong release date timer for the exact hours to launch.

How much will Silksong cost?

Silksong will cost $19.99 or an equivalent in your local currency (such as 19.99 euros or 2300 Japanese yen.)

Will Silksong be on Game Pass?

Yes, Silksong will be on Game Pass on launch day for players with a Console Ultimate subscription, a PC subscription, or Game Pass Ultimate. Console Game Pass subscribers with Core or Standard subscriptions are excluded and can’t play Silksong on day one, though upgrading your subscription will instantly grant you access.

Which platforms will Silksong be available on at launch?

Silksong will launch digitally on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. It won’t be available on mobile. At launch, only the digital version will be available.

Will Silksong have a physical release?

It’s unclear. At launch, there is no Silksong physical release. While Team Cherry hasn’t confirmed a physical edition of the game, leaks from April this year point to a Polish store listing a physical edition of the game for the Switch 2. However, since there’s no official announcement from the developers, you shouldn’t expect a physical edition soon.

Is there a Silksong deluxe or collector’s edition?

Not on launch day. The game’s digital release is a single $19.99 edition. The only add-on you can buy is the game’s official soundtrack for $11.

Can you pre-order Silksong?

No. Team Cherry has confirmed there will be no pre-orders of Silksong on any platform. There could be pre-orders for the physical edition coming in 2026, but that’s so far ahead that we have no information on it yet.

Can you play Silksong early?

No. Silksong will release at the same time in every region. Since there’s no pre-order or deluxe edition, no player will have early access to the game.
