Silksong Sells Out Fast—And Not Just on Game Pass!

Sales Overload!

Hold onto your controllers, folks! Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially broken records by selling over 7 million copies in just three months! Yep, you heard that right—7 million. And before you start nitpicking, this is without counting all the players who got their hands on it through Game Pass. Crazy, right?

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

With Silksong perched up high on Steam’s most-wishlisted games list, Team Cherry was pretty much guaranteed a juicy payday when they released this gem. Some might say they could have raked in even more by boosting the price beyond a cool $20, but honestly, they sold so many copies on launch that Steam had a little meltdown. We’re talking about crushing their own sales records!

Just to clarify: the 7 million copies sold is just the tip of the iceberg, as “millions more” have tried it out via Xbox Game Pass. In a recent post, Team Cherry shared their astonishment at these numbers. They were simply blown away by the responses, the fan art, the mods, and the innovative strategies that players have come up with to navigate this challenging yet fantastic game.

Team Cherry expressed how refreshing it is to see their community thriving: “Watching the community grow, witnessing the incredible art, the mods, the unexpected strategies, and the support among players as they tackle the game’s challenges has been a tremendous reward for us. Your enthusiasm keeps our engines running as we plan to expand this world even further!” Talk about motivational speech vibes!

Now, as impressive as 7 million copies is, it’s worth noting that this doesn’t make Silksong the reigning champ for the best-selling game of the year. That title still goes to Battlefield 6, which stormed the gates with 7 million copies sold within just three days. And let’s not forget the breakout indie sensation Peak, which has already sold a whopping 14 million copies since its launch!
