As predicted, Hollow Knight: Silksong’s launch overwhelmed digital storefronts, Steam included. Despite these challenges, alternative purchase options surfaced, enabling quick access to the game amid server chaos.

Alternative purchasing methods during Steam instability

With Steam struggling under unprecedented demand, determined players have found temporary solutions. The Xbox Store for PC reportedly functioned reliably for some users willing to bypass Steam’s ecosystem. Though initial stock at Humble Bundle depleted rapidly post-launch, persistent checking might yield limited restocks.

Platform stability should gradually improve as initial rush subsides. Consider exploring regional storefronts or postponing purchase attempts during peak traffic hours. For those who endured the original game’s lengthy development, this temporary delay seems minor in comparison.
