GameHub Fix Lets Hollow Knight Silksong Sync Between PC and Android

GameHub fixes Silksong save uploads — play across phone and PC

GameHub's 5.0.4 update brings a small but meaningful win for players: Hollow Knight Silksong saves can now be uploaded from Android back to Steam. That completes the sync cycle so you can pick up where you left off on PC after playing on your phone.

If you already downloaded your Steam save to your phone, you now need to opt GameHub out of its "lightweight" Steam mode and choose a numbered Steam version inside the app. Then trigger the upload when exiting the game.

• Open GameHub → Silksong → tap the three-dot menu → PC Game Settings → Steam and pick a numbered version (not lightweight).
• When finished playing, swipe the right edge left → tap the gear icon → Exit. The app should say it is uploading the save to Steam before it closes.

This fix matters because it removes a common friction for players switching between devices. Previously, GameHub allowed importing PC saves to Android, but sending progress back to Steam was unreliable. Now the mobile port behaves more like a cloud-native title with true cross-device continuity.

From a developer and platform perspective, cross-save reliability hinges on a few technical pieces:

• Stable save formats and versioning so modern and older clients can read or migrate state safely.
• Clear sync triggers (for example, an explicit Exit upload) and visible status so players know their progress is backed up.
• Conflict detection and simple resolution paths when multiple devices change the same save.

Think of it like syncing a document: you want version numbers, a visible upload status, and a clear way to handle two people editing the same file. Games are no different—players expect continuity, not data loss or confusing merges.

For studios and platform teams shipping mobile versions of PC titles, this type of fix is a reminder that cross-save is as much product design as it is engineering. Small UX touches (an Exit that uploads) and robust backend checks make the difference between delighted players and daily support tickets.

Organizations can benefit from a structured approach: audit save compatibility, add deterministic upload triggers, run conflict simulations, and measure support incident lift after rollout. That turns a one-off patch into a repeatable, low-risk pattern for future ports and updates.

For players who want a seamless swap between a commute session and a desktop evening, the GameHub fix is welcome news. For teams building cross-save, it's a solid case study in how simple UX flows and careful versioning pay off in user trust.
