Hollow Knight Silksong disappears from the PS5 Store after its launch: here’s what we know

Users cannot find the game’s profile in the store after its launch.

Update: Sep 4th, 2025 18:13 CEST

Hollow Knight Silksong has been released, and the public has reacted. The avalanche of users it has generated has broken the entire infrastructure of the main digital stores where it has been published. The most worrying news comes from PlayStation. There is no trace of the game on the PS5 Store beyond its profile, which comes and goes due to the current instability. However, what we do know are the trophies required to get platinum.

What’s going on with Silksong on PS5? When will it be available to buy?

If you search for it using the mobile app, the word Silksong doesn’t come up anywhere. There’s no trace of it. But if we go to the physical console, the PS5 in your home, the reality is a little different. Depending on when you search for it, its profile may or may not appear.

Even if you find their profile, that doesn’t mean you can buy it. There is no physical button to purchase it. It all depends on PlayStation, which will check that the servers are stable and enable the option. There is no specific time: it could be hours, minutes, or seconds. As of 8:00 a.m. ET on September 4, the ban is lifted, but the ball is in PlayStation’s court.

Our recommendation is that you try again tonight, when the storm has subsided.
