Hollow Knight Silksong’s Latest Patch Tackles Bugs and Boosts Controller Compatibility

After spending countless hours in the kingdom of Pharloom, I can’t help but feel a rush of excitement every time Team Cherry pushes a new update for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Version 1.0.28891 dropped today, and while it doesn’t introduce fresh narrative threads or massive new biomes, it delivers exactly the kind of meticulous polish that keeps Hornet’s journey feeling buttery smooth. This patch squashes a swarm of bugs, rebalances some sharp-edged tools, and finally adds the kind of controller support that DualSense Edge owners have been clamoring for. With over 5 million players having joined the adventure since its September 2025 launch, these quality-of-life refinements matter more than ever.

🎮 Controller Connectivity Finally Gets the Spotlight

As a dedicated console player, I’ve had my share of panic moments when my controller battery died mid-boss fight. The most nerve-wracking fix in this patch is a long-overdue one: the game now pauses automatically when your controller disconnects. No more watching helplessly as Hornet meets a pointy demise because of a loose cable or a drained battery. This alone feels like a blessing during tense platforming segments or high-stakes battles against foes like Lace or the Crust King.

PlayStation warriors are also getting dedicated love with official DualSense Edge support. The adaptive triggers and back buttons can now be remapped natively, making Hornet’s acrobatic toolkit feel even more responsive. Mac users haven’t been left in the dust either—the update improves compatibility for “various controllers” on macOS, addressing a cluster of smaller input glitches that had been haunting the more faint of heart.
