What the Hollow Knight: Silksong install size means in practice
The Xbox Series X|S version is the largest listed build of Hollow Knight: Silksong at 8.1 GB.

Patches are added on top of the listed figure, so a game that has been out for a year commonly sits a few gigabytes above the number on its store page.
