Hollow Knight: Silksong Fans Break Steam, eShop, and Xbox Store

The wait is finally over! After six incredibly long years, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* has officially launched, and the gaming world is absolutely buzzing. The anticipation for this highly-anticipated sequel has reached a fever pitch, and fans, in their overwhelming excitement, might have just broken the internet – or at least, the major digital storefronts!

Reports are flooding in that Steam, the Nintendo eShop, and the Xbox Store have all experienced significant outages, seemingly brought down by the sheer volume of players rushing to get their hands on *Silksong*. Social media is alight with users reporting issues, and services like DownDetector show massive spikes in downtime precisely when the game went live.

Coincidence? Probably not. When a game as universally hyped as *Silksong* finally drops, a digital stampede is pretty much guaranteed. It’s a testament to just how much the gaming community has been yearning for this title, proving that true dedication can apparently overwhelm even the most robust online systems.

If you’re one of the many trying to dive into Pharloom, you might be facing some frustrating loading screens right now. While these platforms work to get everything back online, we’ll keep an eye on the situation. For those lucky few who managed to snag a copy before the digital gates crashed, congratulations – enjoy the adventure!
