Hollow Knight: Silksong fans have brought down the eShop, Steam and Xbox Store

Hollow Knight: Silksong is officially available for purchase, after six long years of waiting. The anticipation is at a fever pitch. Fans have swarmed to Steam to purchase the game and, well, it looks like they overloaded the system and shut it down. The same thing seems to be happening to the Nintendo eShop and the Xbox Store

Multiple social media users and data from services like DownDetector are noting that the service is down for many people, with a massive spike in reports pretty much the moment Silksong became available. This could be a coincidence but it's probably not. Silksong is one of the hottest releases in recent memory.

In any event, we've reached out to Steam and will update this post when we hear back or when the platform has returned. Congrats to those who already got their hands on the game.

This is a developing story.
