Game Science's game is a resounding success already! Available since Tuesday August 20, Black Myth: Wukong could very well shatter the number of concurrent players on Steam of heavyweights like Counter-Strike.

According to SteamDB, the action-RPG has reached a peak of 1.44 million users on Valve's platform alone. It could be a much higher figure if we include PS5 players. As if that weren't enough, Black Myth: Wukong has garnered very positive reviews, with 94% of those posted on Steam being favorable to the game.
