Black Myth: Wukong Gets Surprise 93 GB Update

by

The game *Black Myth: Wukong* recently received a surprisingly large update – it might be bigger than you expect if you have automatic updates enabled. Unlike games from 25 years ago, which rarely changed after release, modern games are constantly updated and patched. Back then, fixes meant buying a completely new copy of the game. Now, developers can address issues with large updates, and while old bugs weren’t necessarily fewer, today’s updates can often resolve them.

Game development often feels like a continuous process. After a year on PlayStation and PC, *Black Myth: Wukong* was recently released on Xbox. The developers say this wasn’t due to an exclusivity agreement, but because they were focused on making the game run well on Xbox Series X and S – especially the Series S, it seems. While many expected that to be the end of updates after the Xbox launch, the studio surprised everyone by announcing a new *Black Myth* game at Gamescom. Initially, people thought it would be a large expansion for *Wukong*, but that turned out not to be the case.

Black Myth: Wukong‘s Massive New Patch Notes

A new update is now available for *Black Myth: Wukong*. It’s a pretty large download, especially for PlayStation 5 owners, who will need 93 GB of free space. While the update might be smaller on other platforms, PS5 players can choose not to download it and continue playing the previous version if they prefer.

The latest update for *Black Myth: Wukong* mainly improves how the game runs, though it also includes some general gameplay fixes. Some players are reporting that the new performance mode has negatively impacted the game’s lighting, making everything appear overly bright and removing subtle shadows.
