Hollow Knight: Silksong Physical Release for Oct 16 2026

A physical edition of the critically acclaimed video game Hollow Knight: Silksong has been announced for release on October 16, 2026. The release, handled by the distributor Fangamer, will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch 2, with the Switch version also compatible with the original Nintendo Switch.

The physical package will include several collector's items: a 32-page manual and a fold-out map of the game's world, Pharloom. Pricing is expected to be $39.99 for the PlayStation and Xbox versions and $44.99 for the Nintendo Switch 2 edition. A separate physical re-release of the original Hollow Knight is also planned for the same date, but only for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

This announcement follows the game's successful digital launch last year, where it sold millions of copies, won numerous industry awards, and received widespread critical praise. The news of the physical edition was initially reported by the leaker Billbil-kun, who has a reliable track record for such retail information, and was subsequently confirmed through an official product listing from Fangamer.
