About
Hollow Knight: Silksong is the highly anticipated 2025 sequel to the beloved indie action-adventure classic. You play as Hornet, a lethal hunter exploring mysterious new lands filled with challenging combat encounters against swarms of bugs and beasts. The game combines fast-paced Metroidvania gameplay with intricate hand-drawn 2D visuals and a dark, atmospheric world that rewards exploration and skill-based combat.
Despite its beautiful art style, Silksong remains relatively light on GPU demands compared to modern AAA titles. Most mid-range graphics cards from the last five years will easily maintain 60+ FPS at maximum settings. A GTX 1660 or RX 6600 should deliver smooth 100+ FPS performance, while even budget GPUs like the GTX 1050 Ti will run the game comfortably. This accessibility makes it ideal for benchmark testing across a wide range of PC hardware tiers.
With a 92/100 rating, Hollow Knight: Silksong is absolutely worth playing if you enjoy challenging action games with compelling exploration. The game delivers an exceptional experience that justifies years of anticipation from fans.
Performance profile
September 2025 release. As a current-generation title, Hollow Knight: Silksong pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is a narrative-driven experience — a rock-solid 60 FPS is plenty. Prioritise resolution and image quality (AA, anisotropic filtering) over chasing high-refresh framerates.
Entry-level hardware target. A GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT reaches 60 FPS at 1080p Medium in Hollow Knight: Silksong; an RTX 4060 comfortably sustains 1440p Ultra. 4K Ultra 60 FPS needs an RTX 4070 or better.
Storyline
Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song! Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.
