Soon we'll be making some changes in order to support cross-platform cloud saves between Windows, MacOS, and Linux (including the Steam Deck)!
This is planned to occur on Monday, 15th of August at 05:00 (UTC).
These changes will replace the MacOS and Linux cloud save locations, and all platforms will use the existing Windows save location. This will have a few side effects:
MacOS and Linux users will need to play the game once for Steam to upload their existing local save files to cloud storage
Windows users should not need to do anything, except:
Cross-platform users who manually migrated their save files between platforms may have conflicting files. When steam prompts you to keep or overwrite your files it is important to choose the correct one carefully (which will depend on your own situation). If in doubt, back up your save files first!
In some edge cases it may appear that your save files are missing. First, confirm that they can't be found at the locations above. You can manually download save files from the Steam Cloud website and place them in their relevant locations.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Store Page Goes Live!
Become the Princess Knight
As Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, adventure through a whole new kingdom haunted by silk and song. Captured and brought to an unfamiliar land, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is the second game by Team Cherry (that’s us!) and the full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight.
And Pwoarrrrrrowza! if this one hasn’t been a struggle to keep under-wraps! Hidden behind the scenes, Hornet’s gigantic adventure has been growing (and growing and growing!) for well over a year now, with the very first pieces coming together right after the original PC release of Hollow Knight on Feb 24th 2017.
Almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned. We do know that makes the wait a little longer, but we think the final, fresh world you’ll get to explore is worth it.
