If you’re one of the many people excited to get their hands on Hollow Knight: Silksong, you’re probably having issues getting it on Steam and on the Switch. However, it seems that even PlayStation gamers are having issues right now.

Regardless if you’re on PS4 or PS5, it seems Hollow Knight: Silksong on the PlayStation Store can’t be accessed, even if it states it’s out today — which it is.

Silksong PSN Release Is Still Happening Today, Sept. 4

Checking it ourselves, Hollow Knight: Silksong can’t be accessed on the US PSN Store for the time being. Before anyone riots and bugs Team Cherry about it, it seems it’s a rolling update, with some regions already getting it according to some gamers.

There’s also a workaround for it, which you can do now (thanks, limpiatodos):

Silksong PSN Purchase Workaround

• Log in to your PSN account via browser
• Click the link to access Silksong (EU, US) on the store
• Download the game on your PS4/PS5 and enjoy!

If you’re planning on getting the game, our review should hit the site soon, since we’ll be playing it today like everyone else.

In the meantime, here’s a look at the game’s features and an official look at gameplay:

• Discover the fallen insect kingdom of Pharloom! Explore mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors as you ascend to the shining citadel at the top of the world.
• Engage in lethal acrobatic action! Wield a huge suite of deadly moves as you dance between foes in swift, beautiful combat.
• Craft powerful tools! Master an ever-expanding arsenal of weapons, traps, and mechanisms to vanquish your enemies and explore new heights.
• Solve shocking quests! Hunt down rare beasts and solve ancient mysteries to grant the wishes of the downtrodden and restore the kingdom’s hope.
• Face over 200 ferocious foes! Beasts and hunters, monsters and knights. Defeat them all with bravery and skill!
• Vanquish over 40 legendary bosses! Battle fabled heroes and fallen kings in epic combat to decide the kingdom’s fate.
• Challenge Steel Soul mode! Once you conquer the kingdom, test your skills in a new mode that presents a more formidable challenge.
• Experience a stunning orchestral score! Hollow Knight’s award-winning composer, Christopher Larkin, brings melancholy melodies, symphonic strings and heart-thumping, soul strumming boss themes to the adventure.

We’ve waited for years, so what’s a few more minutes/hours, right?
