Despite being the most anticipated indie game of all time and more than living up to the expectations, Hollow Knight: Silksong did not win Game of the Year. I can't imagine its creators mind all that much, though, as the hit sequel is currently outselling all of its GOTY nominees, including the game that won.
Silksong studio Team Cherry revealed exciting news on Monday - the sequel is getting an expansion, and it's free. When sharing that news, the studio also revealed Silksong has sold seven million copies in the three months since it launched. That means it is one of the best-selling games of 2025, and is comfortably outselling the other five games that were nominated for Game of the Year.
Its closest rival is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game that took home the award. The last time Sandfall Interactive provided a sales update about its debut hit, Expedition 33 had sold five million copies. It may well be closer to seven million by now, especially after getting more attention thanks to its Game Awards sweep, but right now, Silksong is officially more popular.
Not to mention Silksong launched five months after Expedition 33, so hit seven...
