Hollow Knight: Silksong will support 21:9 ultrawide monitors on PC, with marketing lead Matthew Griffin sharing four ultrawide screenshots that showcase different Pharloom biomes. The original Hollow Knight lacked official 21:9 support. Implementing ultrawide requires adjusting field of view and resolution, and Team Cherry had to design around extra lateral view space for sidescrolling gameplay. Silksong launches September 4 on modern platforms, with PC ultrawide support as a PC-only feature. Switch 1 owners can upgrade to Switch 2 for free. The game is priced at $20 and arrives day one on Xbox Game Pass.
Including ultrawide support in a video game is easier said than done--it's a complete change in the game's field of view and resolution. A sidescrolling game like Hollow Knight: Silksong has to take into account the extra view space an ultrawide screen provides that a 16:9 screen won't have, and the developers at Team Cherry would have had to design around it.
Silksong is launching for all modern platforms, but as ultrawide monitor support is a PC-only feature, it may be the deciding factor for players who own multiple platforms. In the lead-up to the game's launch, Team Cherry shared details about the Nintendo Switch release, confirming that Switch 1 owners can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free. No matter where you play Hollow Knight: Silksong, it'll be relatively cheap, only going for $20.
