Team Cherry has released a new patch for Hollow Knight: Silksong, version 1.0.28891, now available across all supported platforms. This latest update focuses on controller compatibility, bug fixes, and minor balance tweaks, continuing the developer’s post-launch support following the game’s highly anticipated release in September 2025.
Among the highlights are full support for the DualSense Edge controller, improved compatibility for Mac devices, and adjustments to ensure the game now pauses automatically when controllers disconnect. Beyond input improvements, the patch also resolves multiple progression and combat-related bugs, fixes out-of-bounds exploits, and introduces minor tuning to Silk Skills and damage scaling for balance refinement.
