One of this years biggest releases, Hollow Knight: Silksong has continued to receive an array on post-launch updates since its release in early-September.

Some balancing changes have been introduced that address some of the concerns around difficulty – Silksong is a very difficult, if excellent game which you can read about in our review – and some fans found the difficulty much higher than the original Hollow Knight.

The game’s latest patch is now out which adds support for PlayStation’s pricey competitive controller, the DualSense Edge; whilst bringing in better controller support for Mac users. The game will now automatically auto-pause should your controller disconnect – a small bit of respite for those notorious runbacks, perhaps.
