The global release for Hollow Knight: Silksong is set for Thursday, September 4. However, due to time zone differences, players in Australia will see it launch at midnight on September 5. Here are the precise release times for several regions:
- West coast US: 7 am PT

- Europe: 4 pm CEST

Preorders and Preload Information
As of now, there are no pre-orders available for Silksong. Contrary to the trend of offering deluxe editions or early access periods, Team Cherry has chosen a straightforward launch approach. Additionally, there will be no preload option. However, considering Silksong’s file size is a modest 8GB, players with a decent internet connection should have no trouble downloading the game promptly at release.
System Requirements and Platform Availability
Silksong promises to be accessible, with system requirements that are quite forgiving. Most modern PCs should have no trouble running the game smoothly. It’s worth noting that Hollow Knight was the most-played game on Steam Deck in August, indicating that Silksong will likely be a popular choice for those using Valve’s handheld gaming device.
As we look forward to the rest of 2025’s gaming calendar, Silksong is poised to be a standout title among the year’s releases. Whether you’re in search of the best PC games, free-to-play titles, or epic RPGs, Hollow Knight: Silksong promises to deliver a richly rewarding experience for gamers worldwide.
