Hollow Knight: Silksong is breaking Steam

Valve's usually stable platform struggles thanks in part to lack of pre-loading options.

FYI for those with both gens, it might make more sense for Switch 2 users to buy the Switch version and then get the free Switch 2 upgrade. In theory, you’d be able to play it on either the Switch or Switch 2.

FYI I had to bust out my Switch 1 to get the Switch version as the Switch 2 store only shows the switch 2 version. I loaded the Switch 1 version onto my Switch 2 then went to the e-shop to get the free update on the Silksong page.

I find it really interesting that after all these years, Metroidvanias are this popular.

I don't like Hollow Knight and will never play Silk Song but if it keeps the Metroidvania games coming I'm all for it.

Maybe I'll finally get a sequel to Shadow Complex.

Man, Shadow Complex was so good. Too bad Chair (the developer) was shut down by Epic years ago.

most games work fine in Steam Offline Mode

You have to successfully negotiate with Steam’s servers to go into offline mode though.

It was, by far, the most wishlisted game on Steam. I'd say a lot of us saw this coming from a mile away on Steam (considering the store's performance during the first few hours of their sales is also awful), but I was a bit surprised that it happened on consoles too.

Took me 40 minutes to get my order through the Nintendo e-shop.
