As we finally approach the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong after its infamously long development cycle, players are rushing to play the original first, and remembering just how good it was.
Hollow Knight sales numbers: How many copies did the original sell?
As of August 2025, Hollow Knight has officially sold more than 15 million copies across all platforms, as confirmed by developer Team Cherry in an interview with Bloomberg.
Initially released on PC only, the game has since been ported to consoles and is now available on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
That figure was certainly helped by the game's low price – launching at £11.99 / $14.99 / €14.99.
The game still has some way to go to reach the very heights of indie game sales, with Stardew Valley (41 million) and Terraria (60 million) still ruling the roost.
How many players does Hollow Knight have on Steam?
According to stats from Steam tracking websites VG Insights and Gamalytic, anywhere between 7.36m and 11.15m of Hollow Knight's sales have been through Steam.
But with so many players racing to finish the game before Silksong comes out, the game saw a massive spike in players at the end of August/start of September.
As of 2nd September 2025, Hollow Knight's highest concurrent player count on Steam is 71,083 players, recorded on 1st September.
