Hollow Knight: Silksong will retail for less than £20/$20, leak suggests

Hollow Knight: Silksong will reportedly sell for around £17/$20/€20.

That’s according to eagle-eyed Hollow Knight fans who spotted that the highly anticipated sequel was listed on Gamestop (link since deleted) for $20.

Initially, it was thought this had to be a placeholder price, as the game has long been the most wishlisted title on the Steam platform. When players tried to purchase the game but couldn’t complete checkout, this only strengthened the feeling the listing had to have been incorrect.

However, since then, noted and usually reliable Dealabs leaker Billbil-Kun has all but confirmed the rumour, revealing not just the Steam prices for Hollow Knight: Silksong, but also the price point on GOG.

According to the leaker’s “recent research”, Silksong will indeed retail for less than £20/$20/€20:

• UK: £16.75 (Steam) / (GOG Unknown)
• Europe: €19.50 (Steam) / €8.29 (GOG)
• U.S.: $19.99 (Steam) / $19.99 (GOG)
• Canada: $25.99 (Steam) / $27.19 (GOG)
• Australia: $29.50 (Steam) / $30.19 (GOG)
• New Zealand: $28.99 (Steam) / (GOG Unknown)
• Japan: (Steam Unknown) / ¥2939 (GOG)

The price points for console and Switch versions remain unknown. Dealabs did, however, add weight to rumours that there is no physical version of the game planned at this time.

Hollow Knight: Silksong will release on Thursday, 4th September 2025 for PC, Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series. Yet contrary to what you may believe, Silksong hasn’t been in development hell for that time, however – in fact, Team Cherry’s developers say they were just having too much fun making it.

The end of months of speculation has not been good news for all, of course; announcing the date so late in the game’s development – a mere two weeks from release – meant a slew of games which already had early September release dates suddenly found themselves in a difficult position.
