Hollow Knight: Silksong is getting a physical Xbox release, and that’s worth celebrating
Hollow Knight: Silksong is receiving a physical Xbox release, complete with a manual and poster, marking a significant milestone for collectors and physical media enthusiasts.
The sequel has become one of gaming’s biggest success stories since its release last year, selling over 7 million copies and setting sales records. This remarkable achievement is particularly significant given its extended development—Silksong arrived six years after the original Hollow Knight from Team Cherry.
As a 2D Metroidvania, the game emphasizes exploration, challenging boss encounters, and hidden secrets. The long wait proved worthwhile for the fanbase, with the sequel resonating strongly among both original fans and the broader Metroidvania community. The physical Xbox release continues the game’s strong commercial momentum and provides collectors with a tangible version of one of recent gaming’s most acclaimed sequels, offering an alternative to its digital distribution.
