Silksong comes equipped with most of the features we’d want from a 2D action game.
Hollow Knight: Silksong’s PC system requirements are humble enough to run on a decade-old rig with ease, and that was never really in doubt. But we did have questions about some of its technical features leading up to launch. Would it be locked to 60 fps? What aspect ratios would it support other than 16:9, if any?
My first stop after booting up the game was the options menu, and I found some pleasant surprises there. As a 2D action game without need for features like DLSS or ray tracing, Silksong has the key features we’d hope for and some nices bonuses, too.
And yes, it’s Steam Deck Verified. ✅Hollow Knight: Silksong’s graphics settings
Aspect ratio support: 16:9, 16:10, 21:9
Screen modes: Fullscreen, Windowed, Borderless Windowed
V-Sync: On / Off
Particle effects: Normal / Low

While there aren’t beefy graphics options to « crank up » here, we’re happy to see 21:9 ultrawide support and 16:10, the aspect ratio used by the Steam Deck. Note that the ultraultrawide 32:9 is not supported.
