What’s Included in the New Patch
Team Cherry continues to tweak and fix Hollow Knight: Silksong since its highly anticipated launch on September 4. Unfortunately, rather than adjust the high difficulty many players are struggling with, the developer has focused on fixing controller issues across all devices.
Additionally, players will find that the Eva Hunter Crest upgrades no longer clear tool equips, the Rune Rage damage scaling has been fixed in line with other Silk Skills, and Harpoon will no longer mistakenly grant 2 Silk instead of 1.
The full list of changes is available on Steam, and is given as follows:
- Added support for Dualsense Edge controllers.
- Improved support for various controllers on Mac.
- Game now pauses when the controller disconnects.
- Fixed various smaller controller issues (more fixes to come in future).

Beta Patch
For those who can’t wait for the next update to roll out to everyone, the Hollow Knight: Silksong beta also has a new patch. This update looks to fix localization across all languages and again aims to improve controller support with Team Cherry switching over to Unity’s Input System.
