The first post-launch update for Black Myth: Wukong is available to download now on PS5. Patch 1.0.8 weighs in at a reasonable 1.1GB, but players hoping for improvements to technical performance will likely be left disappointed.
The update focuses on fixes for a range of more specific issues, many of which are related to gameplay. We'd assume that most players won't have even noticed a lot of these problems, but at least they're being addressed.
Still, the hope is that developer Game Science can get Wukong running better on Sony's current-gen system. All three of its graphical modes have hiccups on PS5, with even the recommended 'Performance' mode suffering from clumsy frame generation, which can result in input lad. Rough, but — fingers crossed — fixable.
