Hollow Knight Silksong launched on September 4, 2025, and its player count has already shattered records across platforms. On Steam alone, it peaked at over 562,000 concurrent players, putting it among the top 20 most-played games in the platform’s history. With millions more diving in through Game Pass, PlayStation, and Switch, Silksong has already outpaced the original Hollow Knight by a wide margin.
The Needle upgrade in Hollow Knight Silksong can be unlocked by visiting Bellhart and reaching the Needlesmith's chamber. To gain access, players must first complete the Widow boss fight and finish the "The Threadspun Town" quest. Once inside, interacting with Pinmaster Plinney allows you to sharpen the needle and increase damage.
Crafting in Hollow Knight Silksong introduces new ways to strengthen your tools, and the Crafting Kit is one of the most useful items. The first Crafting Kit is found in the Deep Docks after a sub-boss fight, purchasable for 180 Rosaries from the Forge Daughter’s shop. Collecting Crafting Kits upgrades your tool damage, making combat much easier as you progress.
Fast travel in Hollow Knight Silksong becomes available after defeating the Bell Beast in The Marrow.

The Bell Beast is the second boss in Hollow Knight Silksong, found in The Marrow region. To fight it, you must first unlock the Silk Spear ability in Mosshome and use it to free the creature from webs. The battle itself demands careful dodging, timed healing, and learning to counter its charge, leap, and bell-based attacks, with victory rewarding you with quick travel.
In Hollow Knight Silksong, the Dash and Sprint mechanics come from unlocking the Swift Step ability. This upgrade is hidden in the Deep Docks, where you must cross lava, break an orange node, and defeat a small sub-boss before reaching the Swift Step Idol. Once obtained, you can dash in any direction or sprint by holding the button, making it a vital tool for combat and exploration.
