Hollow Knight: Silksong Physical Edition Has Been Officially Confirmed, Preorders Now Live

Team Cherry has officially unveiled a slate of physical editions for Hollow Knight: Silksong, with Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox versions all now confirmed and preorders live ahead of a release later this year. Alongside the game itself, players will also get reversible cover art, a 32-page game manual, and a mini folded poster. Priced at $45 for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and $40 for PS5 and Xbox, the physical edition is expected to ship on October 16, 2026. To avoid confusion, it is worth noting that the Switch 2 Edition includes the base Nintendo Switch version of the game alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack; therefore, Silksong can still be played on the original Switch hardware. One caveat, however, is that the Sea of Sorrow DLC is not included in the box, though Team Cherry says it will be available as a separate free download. Also announced is Hollow Knight - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which similarly bundles the Nintendo Switch release with the Switch 2 upgrade pack while remaining compatible with the original console. That standard edition is priced at $40, also ships on October 16, 2026, alongside reversible cover artwork, a 28-page manual, and a mini folded poster. Preorders for Hollow Knight are available now at both Fangamer and Best Buy in the U.S. IGN's Tom Marks gave Hollow Knight Silksong a 9/10 in his review last year, stating: "Hollow Knight: Silksong is packed full of sharp platforming, enticing exploration, and nail-biting combat that's all unapologetically challenging in just the right way." It was also awarded the "Best Action-Adventure Game" in the IGN Awards from 2025, and was runner-up as the "Best Nintendo Game" of last year as well.
