Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch Stomps Out More Bugs, Adds DualSense Edge Support

by

Hey everyone, just a quick update on Silksong! Team Cherry dropped a small patch focusing on squashing bugs and making controller support way better, especially if you’re playing on PC or Mac. They’re still working on more controller improvements, so expect those later. Heads up though – some of the patch details might hint at things you’d rather discover yourself, so be careful if you want to go in blind!

The latest Steam update for Silksong (version 1.0.28891) now works with the DualSense Edge controller, a high-end wireless controller for PlayStation 5 that lets you customize the back buttons. Mac users will also find better controller support, and the game will now pause automatically if a controller is unplugged.

We’ve fixed several bugs, including problems that caused crashes and an issue with the Silkeater ability when swimming. We’ve also adjusted the game’s balance; for instance, Hornet’s ‘Thread Storm’ attack now deals less damage at higher needle levels.

Silksong received a second update last month, following an initial patch that adjusted the difficulty of early bosses to make the game more accessible. The game quickly became a commercial success, reportedly selling over 4.2 million copies within weeks of release – a number that doesn’t even include players accessing it through Xbox Game Pass. It’s also become incredibly popular on Steam, ranking among the top 20 most-played games of all time. You can find a detailed review from TopMob if you’re interested.
