As someone who has been following the gaming scene for years and seen countless titles come and go, I must say that the launch of Black Myth: Wukong is nothing short of astounding! The sheer number of concurrent players breaking records on Steam is truly remarkable. It’s like witnessing a meteor shower in the gaming world!
Today saw the release of the action-packed single-player game, Black Myth: Wukong. In a stunning display, it has swiftly overtaken every other title on Steam in terms of simultaneous players, setting an impressive new record. As I type this, Black Myth: Wukong boasts an astonishing 2,194,769 gamers playing it on Steam, a number that continues to rise. The game trails only behind PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in terms of player count, but it has surpassed every other title on Steam, including Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and the recent phenomenon Palworld.
Wukong” has attracted 2,101,867 players simultaneously, which is impressive, but not yet surpassing the player count of “Palworld.” It’s worth noting that “Cyberpunk 2077,” a single-player game like “Black Myth: Wukong,” only had around a million concurrent players at its peak. However, the battle royale game “PUBG: Battlegrounds” (originally known as “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” or simply “PUBG”) currently holds the record for most simultaneous players with 3,257,248, a number that hasn’t been surpassed since. For “Black Myth: Wukong” to overtake “PUBG,” it would need an additional million players this week, which is possible given its current success, but would be quite an accomplishment.
The game, known as an action RPG, lets you assume the role of the legendary figure Wukong, inspired by the Chinese tale “Journey to the West.” Comparisons have been drawn to games like “Dark Souls,” “Elden Ring,” and the more recent “God of War,” due to its complex combat mechanics and numerous boss fights for players to conquer. Since it’s a game grounded in Chinese mythology, it’s believed that the Chinese Steam community has significantly contributed to the game’s high popularity; however, since Steam and SteamDB do not segregate player numbers by region, it remains uncertain what the geographical distribution of players currently is.
The rising fame and exposure of the game Black Myth: Wukong can largely be attributed to gameplay demos and sneak peeks, which highlighted impressive boss battles and graphics. However, the game has also made headlines for less positive reasons. Previous reports claimed a history of sexism within its developer, Game Science. Moreover, creators seeking to play the game were allegedly barred from discussing feminism, Covid-19, and other sensitive topics according to certain guidelines. Despite the negative connotations, these incidents still managed to bring Black Myth: Wukong to the attention of viewers who may not have been familiar with it beforehand due to these reports.
Title “Black Myth: Wukong” has been launched on Steam and PlayStation 5. While an Xbox Series X|S version is in development, it did not make its debut concurrently due to being unfinished at launch.
