4 September 2025, Hollow Knight: SilksongThe highly anticipated edition caused unprecedented outage on the main game platforms such as Steam, because of the influx of players, which could only be a look at what comes Grand Theft Auto 6 will start. The fact that Hollow Knight: Silksong This could cause such a stir in the field to be impressive, especially for the Indian game $ 20. Yet its scale in terms of budget and development team is nowhere near what Rockstar puts into Grand Theft Auto 6Continuation of the game that broke six world sales records on the start day.
Hollow Knight: SilksongSuccess was inevitable because more than five million users on Steam have already been attacked. Other publishers were well aware of their influence, and therefore so many games delayed their release to avoid launching on the same day. But only a few expected this little independent game to cause industrial outages and make some people think about how many larger editions as Gta 6 can shake the industry.
Hollow Knight: Silksong's Launch signals “GTA 6 incident”
What fans now call the “Silksong incident”, Steam faced a 4 -hour outage of 4 September, and more than 70,000 users report problems for DownDetctor, the server downtime tracking. The interruption was lined up Hollow Knight: SilksongRelease time at 7 o'clock PT, indicating that Metroidvania Team Cherry was so popular that it overthrew steam servers. Valve's Storefront was not the only disabled, as the news suggests that Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo online stores have also noticed partial interruptions and technical problems at about the same time. This raises the question of how these platforms can handle one of the biggest launch in the history of games on May 26, 2026, when Grand Theft Auto 6 will arrive.
To illustrate both SilksongEdition can serve as an insight Gta 6“Fans should note that the game team Cherry had around 530,000 parallel steam players at the start of the start of this scale. For comparison Gta 6 They are expected to overcome these figures far because its predecessor sold over 11 million copies on the day of start. Gta 5 'With a record success that includes six world records of Guinness and the title of the fastest entertainment property to reach $ 1 billion, it emphasizes the huge range of franchise. Since the size of the size Silksong It can cause outages across the main platforms, a highly anticipated game on the open world of Rockstar, which some industry veterans call the first “AAAAA” title, could create an even more massive impact.
One of the greatest failures of Steam became August 24, 2024, during the start of Black Myth: Wukong. That day, organized DDOS attack caused technical problems for millions of PC users, even if Valve quickly answered and turned it off. Now some industrial analysts believe that the release Gta 6 It could start an even more interruption of services if the game platforms and shop windows are not prepared in advance.
