Hollow Knight: Silksong on Nintendo Switch 2 joins a pretty exclusive list


Another game gets smoother on Switch 2

Essentially, this means it's part of an exclusive club of games that can take advantage of the Switch 2's increased power and its 7.9-inch Full HD 120Hz refresh rate screen for smoother gameplay. Silksong has been one of the most hotly-anticipated games in recent memory, being first announced by indie developers Team Cherry in 2019 as a sequel to the original Hollow Knight, with very sporadic updates since then. There aren't many games that support 120Hz output on the Switch 2 to take advantage of its higher refresh rate screen, especially as Silksong lets you play at 120fps in both handheld and docked mode, when manually enabled.
