- Hollow Knight Silksong's first patch is out.
- The patch nerfs Moorwing and Sister Splinter bosses.
- Players will earn more rosary rewards from relics and psalm cylinders.
Hollow Knight: Silksong was finally released last week, after years of anticipation, immersing players as the agile Hornet in the silk-shrouded kingdom of Pharloom. However, the thrill has worn off for many, with frustration mounting over the sequel’s increased difficulty, which includes frequent double-mask damage from even early bosses.
Worse yet, launch issues have exacerbated the misery as cloakless respawns following Slab escape deaths, soft-locks in quick-mapping, and cutscene errors show up for PC users. Mods nerfing damage have increased, but many players are still waiting for official relief.
In response to the outcry, Team Cherry has quickly released its first post-launch patch, version 1.0.28470, which is now accessible on Steam and GOG betas, with a full rollout expected next week across all platforms. The update focuses on bug fixes and minor early-game tweaks to alleviate the pain without sacrificing the challenge.
Hollow Knight Silksong v1.0.28470 Full Patch Notes
Team Cherry released the patch notes for Hollow Knight Silksong on Steam, and here’s a full list of every change coming to the game. PC players can access this version right now via the public-beta branch on Steam or GOG.
- Fixed situation where players could remain cloakless after Slab escape sequence.

Further fixes are already being worked on for a second patch. If you have an issue and you don’t see the solution in the list above, the devs may be working on it.
Additional details and temporary solutions for some of the more critical bugs mentioned above are available at the official help site.
