If you’ve been waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong, the wait is finally over. Game developer Team Cherry launched the sequel to its 2017 indie hit Hollow Knight on September 4.
This time, players step into the shoes of Hornet, the mysterious princess-protector, to explore a new, dangerous kingdom full of enemies to fight and abilities to master. Fans of the first game will feel right at home with the challenging combat, hand-drawn worlds and haunting soundtrack—but enough fresh twists will still make it feel like a completely new adventure.
With the game finally out, some credit cards let players earn rewards while taking on Hornet’s toughest enemies.
Where To Buy Silksong
Silksong is out now on multiple platforms, so no matter how you play, you’re covered.
PC fans can grab it on Steam, PlayStation players can download it directly from the PlayStation Store, Nintendo Switch owners can find it on the eShop and Xbox gamers can get it through the Xbox Store.
The game costs $19.99 across platforms, making it an affordable addition to any gaming library.
Use the Right Credit Card To Maximize Your Rewards
Buying a new game is always exciting, but if you want to get a little extra back for your money, consider using a credit card that rewards your gaming purchases. Fighting fierce foes is even sweeter when you’re racking up points or cash back.
Prime Visa
If you often shop on Amazon or buy digital games there, the Prime Visa is a solid choice. You’ll earn 5% back on purchases at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market and on Chase Travel purchases with an eligible Prime membership, unlimited 2% back at gas stations, restaurants and on local transit and commuting (including rideshare), and unlimited 1% back on other purchases. So, when you pick up Silksong or even accessories like a controller or headset, you’re stacking rewards that can help fund your next gaming purchase.
Cardholders will also receive a $150 Amazon gift card upon approval with an eligible Prime membership, which you can use toward even more gaming gear.
PlayStation® Visa® Credit Card*
For PlayStation fans, the PlayStation® Visa® Credit Card* is a no-brainer.
You’ll earn 5 points per dollar spent on qualifying PlayStation and Sony products when you shop directly, in store or at authorized retailers. Earn 3 points for every dollar spent on cable, internet and streaming subscriptions, 2 points on dining and restaurants and 1 point for every $1 spent on all other eligible purchases. Your points can be redeemed for PlayStation Store credit, which is ideal for buying extra content, game expansions or a PlayStation Plus subscription.
You’ll also get a $100 statement credit after spending $500 within 60 days of account opening.
Xbox Mastercard*
Xbox gamers will want the Xbox Mastercard* in their wallet. It offers 5X points on eligible digital Microsoft Store products, 3X points on eligible streaming services, 3X points on eligible dining delivery services and 1X points on other purchases. The rewards are redeemable for Xbox gift cards, Game Pass subscriptions or other Xbox-related purchases, which is perfect for those who want to keep building their game library without spending more out of pocket.
You can also get 6,000 card points, a $60 value, after completing your first purchase within the first 180 days of account opening.
Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card
If you’re looking for a simple, flexible option, the Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card offers 2% cash rewards on purchases. There’s also a $0 annual fee, and the cash rewards can be used however you like—statement credits, travel or even future gaming purchases.
It’s a solid all-around option if you’re not tied to a specific console. Additionally, new cardholders can earn a $200 cash rewards bonus after spending $500 in purchases in the first 3 months.
Bottom Line
Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally out, and Hornet’s new adventure is ready for you to explore. Whether you play on PC, PlayStation, Xbox or Switch, the game is just a few clicks away.
Plus, using a rewards-focused credit card can help you earn points or cash back while grabbing the game and any accessories, making your gaming budget stretch a little further. So, pick your platform, grab Silksong and dive in—the next big adventure awaits.
