Their respective store pages for the game exist, but there’s no option to purchase the game prior to its release right now, nor to download in advance. Still, with Silksong being hand-drawn 2D graphics and very much an indie game, we’re hopeful that the file size won’t be some enormous one that takes days to download. Still, we’ll be sure to update this page if we hear more on either account.
