Black Myth: Wukong Update is Live, Adds FSR 4 Support on PC and Improves PS5 Performance Mode

Game Science has released a new, substantial update for *Black Myth: Wukong* on both PC and PS5. The update focuses on improving the fight against the boss character, the Yaoguai King (also known as Giant Shigandang). While the specific changes aren’t detailed, they’re probably designed to make the battle more enjoyable, responding to feedback from players.

The in-game map, called the Journeyer’s Chart, will now accurately direct players to the Keeper’s Shrine where they can get their first map. But the biggest improvements in this update are focused on performance. PC players will be happy to hear that it now supports AMD FSR 4, has better lighting when settings are low, and includes a Compatible Mode.

The PS5 now offers a Performance Mode that runs at a smooth 60 Hz. Along with some lighting adjustments, this update reduces input lag and increases the resolution. Loading times are faster, and certain textures appear clearer, resulting in an overall improved experience.

You can find a complete list of changes below. *Black Myth: Wukong* is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Read our full review here for more information.
