An action-adventure title based on the mythology around the fabled Monkey King, Wukong was an instant success and became the most popular single-player title on PC platform Steam on its first day, toppling much-hyped competition like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring, according to data tracker SteamDB. The game’s popularity endured and it set a new high of concurrent players on Steam on Thursday, confirming its position as the biggest PC debut in recent memory.
Black Myth: Wukong, a Chinese-made video game backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd., took just 83 hours to sell 10 million copies, one of the fastest debuts in industry history.
It reached the milestone by Friday evening Beijing time after being released on Tuesday, developer Game Science said on X. Its peak concurrent users, which counts the number of people playing at one time around the world, reached 3 million across PC and PlayStation platforms.
