FULL STORY
======================================================================Hollow 
Knight: Silksong has officially launched, but some store pages have crashed 
Steam, Epic Games, and the PS Store are currently unavailable The issue is 
gradually being resolved for some players 

The day has finally arrived! Hollow Knight: Silksong has officially launched 
across PC and consoles, but if you've been waiting to get your hands on the 
game, you might run into some trouble. 

Unlike most games, Team Cherry decided not to open pre-orders for Silksong 
ahead of its September 4 release date. 

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming demand for the game, it appears that 
Steam, the Nintendo eShop, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and the PlayStation Store 
have all buckled under the weight of so many players trying to purchase the 
game at once. 

As of writing, each respective store page is unavailable, meaning there's no 
way for players to click buy and download Silksong . 

If you're lucky, your store page may come back online gradually, like mine, 
though many others are still struggling to gain access. 

We'll keep you updated on the situation over on our Hollow Knight: Silksong 
live blog . 

When the issue does resolve, Hollow Knight: Silksong will be available to buy 
on PlayStation 5 , PlayStation 4 , Xbox Series X , Xbox Series S , Xbox One , 
Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally, and ROG Xbox 
Ally X. It'll cost just $19.99 / 16.75. You might also like... 007 First
