Fans of Hollow Knight: Silksong are in for a treat following the revelation that the highly anticipated game will be released for both Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, without the need to upgrade the console. Matthew Griffin, the game’s marketing and publishing manager, confirmed via a tweet that both models of Switch will receive the title, allowing players to enjoy it without the pressure of acquiring the new console.

Additionally, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available from day one on Xbox Game Pass, which represents a significant saving for players, especially in light of the growing discontent over the high cost of Nintendo’s new system and the game Mario Kart World, becoming one of the most expensive AAA titles ever released.
Nintendo fans have expressed their frustration on social media, calling for a price reduction during live broadcasts like the Treehouse, where demands for lowering the price were evident. This climate of discontent could lead Nintendo to reconsider its pricing strategies.
Recently, the release of new screenshots of Hollow Knight: Silksong has shown remarkable progress in graphical and environmental improvements since its announcement six years ago. These images reflect a more softened atmosphere thanks to a subtle use of light and shadows that promises to enhance the gaming experience.
However, users of the Japanese eShop have faced technical issues that hinder pre-orders for the game, highlighting a high demand since its announcement. For now, fans must wait until 2025 to enjoy Hollow Knight: Silksong, as a more specific release window has not been established.
