Hollow Knight: Silksong kills it on its launch day on Steam with over half-a-million concurrent players
"Silksong had no trouble landing into the top five - and staying there. Even at the time of this writing, the game occupies the number three spot, just below DOTA 2, and Counter-Strike 2 with over 317,000 in-game. Its peak concurrent was a staggering 535,213 players (via SteamDB), which it managed to achieve around 14 hours ago. Silksong is also, of course, Steam's current number one top-seller, with the game and soundtrack bundle at number two."
"Silksong has officially become one of Steam's biggest releases of 2025, and certainly one of the most significant launches for any indie game. Quickly after Silksong went live last night on Steam, it started shooting up Steam's Most Played chart, overtaking heavy-hitters like Path of Exile 2 (which, incidentally, just had a major update that boosted its spot), and perennial multiplayer titles like PUBG."
Hollow Knight: Silksong released on Steam to major success, quickly climbing Steam's Most Played chart and reaching a peak concurrent player count of 535,213 via SteamDB. The game settled in the top five and at the time occupied the number three spot with over 317,000 players, trailing only DOTA 2 and Counter-Strike 2. Silksong became Steam's number one top-seller, with the game-and-soundtrack bundle at number two. The original Hollow Knight saw a concurrent-player boost. Player reception is overwhelmingly positive across nearly 16,000 Steam reviews, and reports indicate few bugs or technical issues after extended development.
