Hollow Knight Silksong has taken over the gaming scene in a flash, becoming so popular that its mere soundtrack is beating games like Battlefield 6 and Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater on Steam’s top seller charts.
While you can say BF6 isn’t out yet and MGS isn’t that big on Steam, which is true, HKS’ soundtrack was sitting at #7 on Steam’s top seller charts, beating countless other popular titles.
Hollow Knight Silksong crashed all store platforms like the Nintendo eShop, PSN Store, Xbox Store, and Steam
If you were one of the many that was anticipating Hollow Knight Silksong the minute it dropped in the store, you have probably experienced a unique phenomenon: online store platforms crashing for hours.
At least for Steam, it was a bit expected. HKS was sitting at the top of the wishlist charts for several years already, making it one of the most highly anticipated games ever. For a release where there aren’t any preorders or preloads, you know the servers will get clogged.
But what is truly amazing is that everyone is surely convinced that it is going to be one of the best games to be released as well.
Hollow Knight Silksong sits at a 92% very positive review on Steam at the time of writing. The game is so well-received, its soundtrack, a separate DLC product sold separately on Steam, is also the #7 top seller on Steam.
While Hollow Knight Silksong does boast a riveting soundtrack (it is even its 3rd used tag on Steam), that’s still an amazing achievement, especially for something you can freely find and play on Spotify soon.
