Hollow Knight: Silksong Release Crashes Steam and Xbox Game Pass

Silksong has been in the gaming pipeline for six years now, and with the smashing success of the first Hollow Knight, fans are eager for the sequel. So eager, in fact, that the sudden influx of players on Steam, Xbox Game Pass, and others seems to be too much for servers to handle.
