Black Myth Wukong Already a Massive Hit on Steam, Despite Controversy

Black Myth: Wukong is the latest soulslike game to gain the interest of players, as the detailed visuals and fast-paced combat immediately compelled them. Now that the game is out, fans were curious to see if it would succeed, especially after some of the controversy regarding streamer copies.

Despite these circumstances, Wukong is already a hit on PC, managing to attract plenty of curious players who love this gaming genre. This brand-new RPG will only do better as time goes on since Wukong is also available on current-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series systems.

According to Steam Charts (via VGC), Black Myth: Wukong has been able to attract 1.44 million players hours after the game’s release. Reaching the million range is always a good thing, but this also launches Wukong as the fourth biggest game ever on Valve’s platform.

Even with games like Elden Ring, Nioh, and Lies of P readily available on Steam, this goes to show how much PC players love these Soulslike titles. Wukong continues that trend and it looks like that won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Some controversy did surround Black Myth: Wukong when early streaming guidelines were revealed, preventing players from talking about subjects like “politics” and “feminism.” It’s why reviews for the game have been late for other publications, as they’ve opted to buy the title to give their honest opinions.

Regardless of all that, it seems soulslike fans can purchase Black Myth: Wukong without any concerns for the in-game quality. Wukong can now be purchased for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
