As a seasoned gamer with a decade-long journey through the digital realms, I must admit that the recent release of Black Myth: Wukong has left me utterly amazed. Being a connoisseur of Chinese gaming culture, I’ve witnessed numerous titles captivate audiences, but none have sparked such a fervor as this mythical masterpiece.
The newly released game titled “Black Myth: Wukong” is creating quite a stir in China’s gaming market. As noted by industry consultant Daniel Camilo on Twitter, Chinese gamers are eagerly attempting to secure a PlayStation 5 unit, primarily for the purpose of playing “Black Myth: Wukong“. Consequently, PS5 stocks have been rapidly depleting across the country due to high demand.
Additionally, Camilo points out that the debut of “Black Myth: Wukong” has ignited curiosity among individuals who previously had little interest in video games, leading them to pursue obtaining a PlayStation 5.
Camilo observed that there’s a “spreading trend” among non-gaming consumers in China, who are unexpectedly captivated by the game’s widespread popularity and consequently purchasing new gaming consoles.
It’s worth mentioning that Camilo observed exceptionally high sales of the PS5 in the global electronics hub, specifically at Huaqiangbei, located in Shenzhen.
Black Myth: Wukong has garnered significant popularity across PC, reaching a remarkable peak of simultaneous players, and surpassing 10 million total sales on all available platforms. At the moment, it is playable on both PC and PS5. For comprehensive insights, feel free to explore our reviews on these two systems.

A surprising surge of people who typically aren’t interested in gaming are finding themselves swept up by the popularity of games in China, leading to an increase in purchases of new gaming consoles.
