Team Cherry releases Update 4 for Hollow Knight Silksong, currently only on PC, with a fan-made Chinese translation and other new features.
One of the best games of 2025 continues to receive updates to resolve its errors, paving the way that began to be traced in September, with its launch in PC, Steam Deck, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and Game Pass.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is one of our GOTY 2025 candidates, although Hornet won’t have it easy against Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Ghost of Yotei, Donkey Kong Bananza, Death Stranding 2 and Hades 2, among others.
Team Cherry continues to do its work, improving Silksong with various updates on PC and consoles. Let’s remember that the last patch focused on DualSense Edge support and fix errors.
Patch 4 is now available, currently only for PC (it will arrive soon on consoles), whose main new feature is that it includes Chinese translation for texts and subtitles.
One of the most criticized aspects of Hollow Knight Silksong in China was the lack of a quality translation into that language, so a group of fans known as Team Cart Fix began working on localization.
Now Team Cherry approved this fan translation (it was already available as a mod for PC), and made the translation official from Silksong to Chinese.
Hollow Knight Silksong is updated with patch 4
If you’re a PC, Steam Deck, or ROG Xbox Ally gamer (among other established PCs), you’ll be happy to know that patch 1.0.29242 is now available for Hollow Knight Silksong. Team Cherry guarantees that it will soon also be available for download on consoles.
Next, we share the official patch 4 notes:
- Updated the Simplified Chinese translation to use the fan translation provided by Team Cart Fix.
