Hollow Knight: Silksong, which we will review on Wednesday, has sold 7 million copies with ‘millions more playing on Xbox Game Pass!’. This announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer for the game’s first expansion, “Sea of Sorrow.”
Hollow Knight: Silksong was released in September to critical acclaim. With today’s announcement, we know fans feel the same way. The title has now sold over seven million copies, with Team Cherry announcing that there were ‘million more playing on Xbox Game Pass’. Here is their statement alongside the teaser trailer for the game’s first expansion, Sea of Sorrow.
Heya Everyone!
With Hollow Knight: Silksong’s launch year coming to a close, we wanted to take a moment and share a peek at what we’ve been working on, what’s available now, and what’s coming in 2026.
But firstly, and most importantly, we wanted to say a huge thank you to all the players who’ve braved Silksong’s distant and dangerous lands. That’s over seven million of you who’ve purchased the game, alongside millions more playing on Xbox Game Pass!
It’s a truly staggering number of players, more than we could have ever expected (enough to crash all of the storefronts!). Watching the community grow, seeing the amazing art, the mods, the unexpected strategies, and the support between players through the game’s challenges has been hugely rewarding for us here at home. Your continued enthusiasm remains a massive motivator as we work towards expanding the game even further.
That first big expansion is already well underway! Check out the teaser below for a hint at what’s coming up next:
