My error code was slightly different than what's getting posted here (4294956486), so it's possible that this won't work for you folks.

EDIT: Good news and bad news! I figured out why Mac OS can't launch "hollow_knight" — it's because it somehow got renamed to "Hollow Knight"! Apparently Steam is doing this to a few games (see: https://steamcommunity.com/app/312450/discussions/1/1692669912386928363/). Renaming common / Hollow Knight / hollow_knight.app / Contents / MacOS / Hollow Knight to "hollow_knight" is at least getting the game... Opening? From Steam? But it still crashes immediately, with a popup complaining about XCode being needed to run "lldb". Nevertheless, the game runs fine when launched from Terminal.

either im stupid or the location of steam is different in my mac. Those code [cd Library/Application/Support/Steam/steamapps/common] does not work in my case. Still finding where's my file hiding but i appreciate your help.

To continue from 32BitStew's finding:
The issue (at least in some cases) looks to stem from Steam (if on the beta client or on the recently released client June 7th). There are Mac players who can't launch any game via Steam. I don't know if it affects all macOS versions.

Thanks man, renaming worked, but I had reversed situation, the name was "hollow_knight" and I renamed it to "Hollow Knight" and error is gone.

Was that for the 32-bit or 64-bit game version?
Which macOS are you using?

Oh smh the website's got it wrong. There's a folder in Library called "Application Support" with a space in the middle, but Terminal gets confused when you plop a space in the middle of a path, so you have to "escape" it (i.e. put a BACKslash before the space).

It should read Application\ Support. Try:

cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common
cd Hollow\ Knight/hollow_knight.app/Contents/MacOS

Which should jump you from step 2 to the middle of step 4. Then try:

./Hollow\ Knight

That should work, and did on my machine. Unless Hollow Knight is named hollow_knight or something on your end. You can use the "ls" (list) command to check, once you've used "cd" (change directory" to get to the MacOS folder.

EDIT: I also refer y'all to Team Cherry's recent post.

EDIT 2: I also recommend making a copy of your save file, as I detailed in this thread:

MACOS Big Sur Version 11.4, 64-bit version, mac doesn't support 32 bit version apps anymore.

Yesterday after the 8th of june Steam update, I couldn't load any of my games on Steam. And I have a MacOs Mojave 10.14.
My work around solution was to click yes to being part of the beta in :"Steam" / "Preferences" / "Account".
It asks you to update, then restart Steam and since then, everything works fine.
And this worked on another Mojave MacOS friend's computer.
Good luck to you guys ;)

People were having a different problem before Steam had an update that fixed an issue that broke games opening on Macs (which is why version 1.5 works for you now). Before that, people had problems with either version thanks to Steam.

It was posted about elsewhere first, but please check both the stickied post by TC and also a post by tintingaroo in the same thread for more details:

First try updating the Steam client, then try the game again:
Steam > Check for Steam Client Updates

If still facing issues try the steps listed by TC:
