Hit indie sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong might’ve dominated digital games distributors over the weekend, and while fans didn’t mince words about the game’s difficulty, Team Cherry’s latest patch notes promise to manage some in-game concerns.
The notes, shared on Steam early on Tuesday, offer “[d]etails below on the upcoming post-release patch (1.0.28470). This one is primarily focused on bug fixes, with some slight balance adjustments in the early game. Barring any unforseen issues,” the studio’s post reads, “we’re aiming to deliver the patch to all players mid next week.” Before breaking down the game’s forthcoming fixes, Team Cherry says that PC players can hop into this “version right now via the public-beta branch on Steam or GOG.”

“All fixes will apply retroactively, so players who’ve hit a significant bug that prevents progress may want to switch over to public-beta to receive the fix,” the dev team shared in their post. “Further fixes are already being worked on for a second patch. If you have an issue and you don’t see the solution in the list above, we may be working on it.”
Whether your complaint centers on overly onerous bosses, save file issues, soft-locks, or something else, Team Cherry’s upcoming patch and the group’s comprehensive list of bugs and potential solutions offer players a little relief.
