Black Myth: Wukong goes ape with well over 2 million players at launch, surpassing Palworld as the second most-played Steam game ever released
I knew Game Science’s highly anticipated single player action RPG Black Myth: Wukong was going to be one of this year’s most popular games, but I wasn’t expecting it to have what will likely be 2024’s largest launches, as well as one of the biggest debuts in gaming history. And yet, two days after its release, here we are, with the title hitting a peak player count of well over 2 million on Valve’s PC gaming platform Steam. Specifically, as SteamDB data shows, it’s reached a colossal zenith of 2,358,580 players.
