HK Switch Patch Released

Heya All,

Short update today to say: We’re pushing out a Hollow Knight patch for Nintendo Switch players. This one’s just to clean up some bugs, and will download automatically to your system if connected to the internet. Details below.

A small note: We will be adding controller rebinding to the Nintendo Switch version. Please expect that feature to arrive with the Gods & Glory Content Pack.
