Hollow Knight: Silksong is receiving a coordinated global launch and Team Cherry has shared exact release times for the game, which goes live on September 4, 2025. Those times tell players across regions when they can start playing rather than relying on local midnight storefront drops.
As Team Cherry’s announcement shows, the studio released a single schedule that lists launch times for many major time zones. The timing avoids staggered midnight releases and may reflect the game’s no-preorder status, plus an effort to limit spoilers as the launch happens worldwide on the same day. Players in the Western Hemisphere get access earlier in their day, while those farther east will be able to play later in the afternoon or evening. The schedule gives everyone a clear expectation of when the game will appear on their platform storefronts.

No region gets a midnight launch. That means everyone follows the single timetable above rather than staggered local rollouts. The clear schedule should help players plan downloads and sessions, and it reduces confusion about when achievements or online features unlock. Retail availability or physical copies may vary by region but digital storefronts will follow the schedule provided by Team Cherry.
Hollow Knight: Silksong launches on September 4, 2025 on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Players should see the game appear in their chosen platform’s store at the listed local time; when in doubt, check your platform’s storefront for the exact listing and download status.
