Black Myth: Wukong Breaks Steam Records with Over 1 Million Concurrent Players

Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG inspired by Chinese mythology, has set unprecedented records on Steam.

Just after its release, the game hit a huge milestone: over 1 million people playing simultaneously on Steam. This achievement shows just how excited gamers were for this release.

Black Myth: Wukong, made by Game Science, didn’t just break records – it smashed them. It became the fastest game ever to reach 1 million players at once on Steam, beating out big names like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring.

What’s really impressive is that it’s a single-player game, standing out in a world where multiplayer games often rule.

The game’s success wasn’t a total surprise.

Before it came out, it was the most wish-listed upcoming game worldwide, with over 4 million people adding it to their wishlists. Many of these were from China.

When it was time to download the game, Steam saw huge traffic, with downloads reaching 70 terabytes per second – even more than Cyberpunk 2077.

But Black Myth: Wukong isn’t just about big numbers. Players and reviewers (except Screenrant who apparently found the game Lacking in inclusivity and diversity) are loving the game’s beautiful graphics, exciting fighting, and movie-like opening scenes.

The road to this success wasn’t always smooth. There were some arguments and false stories about how the game was made, including a fake letter that started talking about diversity in gaming. But in the end, the game’s great gameplay and storytelling won out over any drama.

Black Myth: Wukong has set a new bar for game releases on Steam and has become a cultural hit. It shows that gamers all over the world are hungry for new stories and challenging games. As more people play the game, it’s clear that Black Myth: Wukong has already made its mark on gaming history.
