Steam goes down, and Nintendo eShop and PS Store instantly crash under Hollow Knight: Silksong demand as the long-awaited game finally launches

• Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially launched, but some store pages have crashed
• Steam, Epic Games, and the PS Store are currently unavailable
• The issue is gradually being resolved for some players

The day has finally arrived! Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially launched across PC and consoles, but if you've been waiting to get your hands on the game, you might run into some trouble.

Unlike most games, Team Cherry decided not to open pre-orders for Silksong ahead of its September 4 release date.

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand for the game, it appears that Steam, the Nintendo eShop, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and the PlayStation Store have all buckled under the weight of so many players trying to purchase the game at once.
