Hollow Knight: Silksong, a highly anticipated game that reportedly attracted five million players in its first week, was not initially released on smartphones. However, advancements in Windows-to-Android emulation now allow players to run the Steam version on flagship Android devices, such as the Galaxy S25.
GameSir, a Chinese mobile gamepad manufacturer, has released GameHub 5.0, an app designed to simplify Windows-on-phone emulation. This new version includes key features that distinguish it from other emulation tools.
One notable feature is that GameHub 5.0 automatically configures the necessary graphics drivers, translation layer, and other components upon launching a game. This eliminates the manual setup previously required with tools like Winlator and GameNative.
The app also supports downloading Steam cloud save files from a PC, enabling players to continue their game progress seamlessly on their mobile devices. Users can log into their Steam account, install Silksong, enable cloud saves, and start playing directly on their phones.
As of September 11th, GameSir was actively developing the reverse sync functionality, which would allow save files to be uploaded back to the PC. However, this feature was not yet functional for Silksong.
