Enthusiasts of the Souls-like game genre have been eagerly anticipating Black Myth: Wukong ever since it was first unveiled in the year 2020.

Since it was launched yesterday, the popularity of the game has been nothing short of astonishing, with an enormous number of players already participating.

The launch hasn’t followed the typical pattern, featuring a postponed Xbox debut and initial physical versions without discs (at least for the moment).

But this hasn’t stopped the game being an immediate success.

So how well, exactly, has the game done? How many people are playing, and how many copies sold?

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve always been intrigued by the success stories behind popular video games. So, let’s delve into the player count for Black Myth: Wukong and calculate the potential revenue Game Science has generated from this captivating title!
