First look at Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch 2, has TV mode with 120Hz support

We previously mentioned that Hollow Knight: Silksong is playable on Nintendo Switch 2 at Gamescom 2025 this week, and we now have a first look with off-screen footage.

This is the first time fans are getting hands-on time with the title. On top of that, we’re now seeing it run on Nintendo’s new hardware for the first time. It’s actually the first extensive look since E3 during Nintendo Treehouse: Live way back in 2019.

Other than that, we’re hearing Hollow Knight: Silksong has a TV Mode on Nintendo Switch 2, which allows for a “higher frame rate mode for displays that support 120Hz”. This mode does have a lower resolution.

Here’s the off-screen footage for Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch 2:

The game will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch later this year. A special announcement is incoming, which may give us the release date – read about that here.
