The recent Silksong patch adds more controller support and fixes bugs

Hollow Knight: Silk Song version 1.0.28891 is now available.

Additionally, the recent update includes several bug fixes. Fixed several issues that resulted in players falling or being dragged out of the game area, and fixed many bugs that occurred in boss fights and other enemy encounters.

While the update brings a few balance changes, they are minimal. The update itself is so compact that developer Team Cherry hasn’t even posted it on the developer blog game on Steam page, so players who are still hoping for more balance changes may have to wait until the next update to see if their hopes come true.
