Hollow Knight: Silksong Patch 2 Will Add New Graphics Setting On Xbox

Team Cherry has detailed Patch 2 for its Xbox Game Pass hit Hollow Knight: Silksong, which arrives shortly after Patch 1 delivered some difficulty tweaks recently across all platforms.

While Patch 2 doesn't make any more balance adjustments, it does add a new visual setting, as well as fixing a few "critical issues" and cleaning up some smaller bugs. The new graphics option is a 'dithering' effect that "reduces colour banding but can slightly soften the appearance of foreground assets". It'll be added as a new toggle in the menus.

Here's all the detail on that, along the rest of the Hollow Knight: Silksong Update 2 patch notes:

Patch 2 is now live on PC for public beta users, and will be coming to console soon.
