Gamers frustrated as Hollow Knight: Silksong crashes stores on video poker pravidlálaunch6 days agoShareSaveLiv McMahonTechnology reporterShareSaveTeam CherryThe biggest online video game stores crashed on Thursday as they struggled to deal with high demand for Hollow Knight: Silksong - one of the most-anticipated games of the year.Thousands of users reported they were unable to buy the game on PC store Steam after its release at 15:00 BST, with errors persisting until around 17:30.Social media users also shared their difficulties trying to purchase Silksong on other platforms, including the Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox game stores.Fans of Hollow Knight have been eagerly awaiting the sequel after the first game's release in 2017, which has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide according to the developer.User reports on outage-checker Downdetector rose sharply on release, peaking at 3,750 before falling gradually over the following hour.It led some angry fans to criticise the platform, with one calling the outage "ridiculous" and others saying it was "stupid" there was no option to pre-order the game, which they said would have avoided the issues altogether.And further frustrated fans posted screenshots to social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter) of error codes across game stores as they tried to complete their purchase.SteamSteam users were met with this error when they tried to buy the gameMeanwhile, Humble Bundle, another digital storefront, briefly told visitors in a note on its site on Thursday the game was no longer available during the high demand - which has since been resolved.It led Christopher Larkin, a composer who worked on Hollow Knight and its sequel, to joke on X the game may have "crashed the internet".Meanwhile another X user, @haydenschiff, posted an image showing several gamers encountering Steam error codes while trying to share their gameplay on Twitch:Allow X content?This article contains content provided by X.

The latest game focuses on a sword-wielding princess called Hornet, who was a supporting character in the first game.One of Team Cherry's developers, William Pellen, was quoted in the Australian Broadcasting Corporation as saying that the Hollow Knight games had a distinctive style that did not age."The fact that people keep discovering Hollow Knight, the original, and this was our hope with it, suggests that it hasn't fallen out of date," Pellen said."The satisfying thing with Hollow Knight was that we were making something that was to our tastes, and that meant that we were making things that were slightly different. It was inspired by older games, so its qualities were slightly different from the more modern games of the time."In a way that it's sort of outside of time, hopefully Silksong can achieve that too."Additional reporting by Tessa Wong.Sign up for our Tech Decoded newsletter to follow the world's top tech stories and trends.
