Hollow Knight: Silksong Update Adds Support to DualSense Edge Controllers and Fixes a Frustrating Issue
Hollow Knight: Silksong launched last month to rave reviews and exceptional sales. The long-in-development roguelike from developer Team Cherry had a ton of hype to live up to, and it mostly did exactly that, giving fans another great experience to dive into. And while Silksong is filled with bugs by design, those are meant to be characters and enemies, not glitches and gameplay issues. Thankfully, Team Cherry is hard at work fixing the latter, dropping a new patch on October 13th, which addresses a few major problems, including a glaring controller issue that’s been plaguing everyone using that input method.
Patch 1.0.28891 isn’t a major one for Hollow Knight: Silksong, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. Anyone playing on a controller knows that Silksong has been having an issue with disconnects. Previously, if your controller disconnected in the middle of gameplay, Silksong would not pause. With a game as punishing as Hollow Knight, that’s a problem, and it led to countless deaths. Thankfully, this patch has corrected that issue, adding an automatic pause anytime your controller disconnects from your PC.
Of course, that’s only one of a handful of problems this patch fixes. It might be the biggest change, but it’s far from the only update waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong fans. Many of the major changes are controller-related. For example, the DualSense Edge controller is finally getting support, and several controllers should now work much better on Mac. Team Cherry also notes that it has several future fixes planned for controllers, so if you’re still struggling, rest assured knowing that the developers are working on it.
Outside of all the controller fixes, players can expect a few dozen bug fixes that range from a slight increase to Shard Dart and Cross Stitch damage to a soft-lock that could occur during the Grand Gate opening sequence. Team Cherry will undoubtedly continue to update Silksong over the next few months, so expect to see several of these smaller patches as we move forward.
You’ll find the full patch notes listed below.
