As development for Silksong spanned several years, the title will be available on an extensive array of hardware upon release, including the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Hollow Knight: Silksong, developed by Australian indie studio Team Cherry, builds on the critically acclaimed foundation set by its predecessor, Hollow Knight, which originally launched in 2017.

A spokesperson for Team Cherry stated that maximizing performance and consistency across all platforms has been a primary focus during development.

The team emphasized their commitment to ensuring that Hollow Knight: Silksong runs at its optimal frame rate and resolution on both legacy hardware like the original Nintendo Switch and modern systems such as the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

"We want every player, regardless of platform, to experience Silksong at its best," the developer shared in the update. Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 users will be pleased to note that the game maintains smooth gameplay even in the title’s most visually intense scenarios.

PC users, as expected, benefit from customizable graphics settings, while PlayStation and Xbox players can look forward to next-generation enhancements where available. Hollow Knight: Silksong is poised for a simultaneous worldwide release on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms later this year.

The original Hollow Knight enjoyed more than 2.8 million sales globally and garnered multiple industry awards, raising expectations for Silksong’s impact on the indie and mainstream gaming landscape alike. With this exhaustive graphics comparison, both long-time Hollow Knight fans and newcomers can make informed decisions on which hardware platform best suits their preferences for visuals and performance.
