Team Cherry finally confirmed the Hollow Knight Silksong price—and it’s as generous as fans hoped. At just under $20, this Metroidvania sequel offers epic value and a simultaneous global launch. Read on for full pricing, release times, platform info, and why this matters.

GameStop Leak Sparks Attention—and It Was Real

A GameStop pre-order listing briefly revealed a $19.99 price for Hollow Knight Silksong, igniting excitement online.

The leak helped cement expectations for a budget-friendly launch.

Platforms and Physical Editions

Hollow Knight Silksong will hit PC (Steam, Xbox app), macOS, Linux, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series X|S, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
Physical editions are planned—but only for Nintendo platforms in early 2026. Other formats may follow later.

Why Price Matters

In a market where AAA titles often top $60–80, Team Cherry’s modest pricing stands out. Fans see it as a nod to loyalty—and proof that premium indie games can be affordable. The first Hollow Knight set a standard with deep gameplay at a fair price, and Silksong continues that tradition, delivering massive content for minimal cost.

Its launch has already disrupted the indie release calendar—several games and studios have shifted schedules to avoid launching alongside Silksong. With the official Hollow Knight Silksong price confirmed, anticipation is higher than ever as launch day approaches. Fans are preparing for day-one downloads, speedruns, and global leaderboard competition starting September 4.
