Black Myth: Wukong causes PS5 stock-outs in China

Black Myth: Wukong released three days ago, on August 20, and the game is a commercial hit already. On Steam, the game reached a peak of over 2.4 million concurrent players, and while we don't have any figures for PS5 yet, the game is doing alright there too.

PC and components have also seen a sharp rise in China since the launch of Game Science's title.
