Silksong Patch 5: a recap of the March 2026 update

This is the March 16 patch

Team Cherry announced Patch 5, version 1.0.30000, on March 16, 2026. This article revisits that update; it is not a report of a new October patch.

At the time, the announcement covered the PC release and said consoles would follow. That statement does not establish today's console version.

When a walkthrough does not match

Editorial suggestion: compare the guide's language and publication date with your game before concluding that you took the wrong route. If a name differs, use the pictured location or route as a second check.

For a repeatable problem, note your platform, installed version and location. Those details make a support report more useful than simply saying that a guide did not work.
