The latest GameHub update brings a long-awaited feature for Hollow Knight Silksong fans: seamless cross-platform save synchronization between mobile and PC. Players can now start a session on their computer, continue playing on their Android device, and effortlessly pick up right where they left off when returning to their desktop, all without manual file transfers or complicated setup processes.
Achieving this smooth synchronization requires a quick adjustment in the app settings. Users must first switch GameHub out of its default “lightweight” Steam mode and select a specific numbered version. This change is made by navigating to Silksong within the app, tapping the three-dot menu, selecting PC Game Settings, and then choosing Steam from the available options.
Once the correct mode is activated, save files will automatically download from Steam when launching the game on a mobile device. To ensure progress made on the phone uploads back to the cloud, players should swipe from the right edge of the screen to access the side menu, tap the gear icon, and select Exit. The app will confirm that it is uploading the save data to Steam, a process that typically completes within moments before the game fully closes.
This functionality eliminates one of the biggest hurdles for gamers who enjoy switching between devices, providing a unified experience whether playing at a desk or on the go. The feature is available now in GameHub version 5.0.4 and works with legally owned copies of Hollow Knight Silksong installed through Steam.
