Hollow Knight: Silksong has achieved a massive concurrent player count on Steam during its first weekend, just days after its long-awaited release.

According to the SteamDB charts, the highly anticipated indie surpassed 587,150 players on the platform on September 6, beating out its impressive launch day numbers of 534,450 users and its first Friday at 562,814. This peak places the game as the 17th biggest peak ever, putting it amongst the most popular Steam games of all time.

Despite a small dip in players, which we can attribute to it being a Monday, Silksong is still holding strong. As of writing, the metroidvania has over 459,177 players in-game. What's more, the game is currently sitting at number 4 for most-played games on Steam, beating out the likes of Rust, Path of Exile 2, and Helldivers 2, and following behind PUBG: Battlegrounds, Dota 2, and Counter-Strike 2.

2024's Borderlands movie was not a big success at the box office, bringing in just $33 million and garnering a cool critical reception as well. Despite the movie's lack of performance critically and commercially, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford isn't giving up on future transmedia opportunities.

Speaking to The Gamer, Pitchford said he would be open to the idea of another stab at it if the right team of people and ideas come together at the right moment.

"My attitude is, if there are great creators, artists, entertainers that have something to say and they think they can only do it with Borderlands, and they can demonstrate that they can do it, I want to enable that. We don't always succeed, but we've got to keep swinging," he said.
