Update: Just as an update to this article, Black Myth: Wukong has now peaked at 2.2 million concurrents on Steam, making it comfortably the biggest-ever single player launch on the PC platform. As mentioned below, we don’t have PS5 player numbers, but it’s safe to assume they’re high too.
Analysis suggests many of the players are based in China, which is helping illustrate the raw untapped potential available to publishers targeting the region.
Original Article: Black Myth: Wukong, the action RPG from Chinese developer Game Science, is shaping up to be one of the biggest new releases of the year. The game – available today on PS5 and PC – has gone supernova on storefront Steam, where it’s currently attracting a peak total of 1.4 million concurrent players. That’s significantly more than even Elden Ring’s 950k, which was achieved at the height of its popularity.
