Once viewed as vapourware, Black Myth: Wukong finally released on the 20th of August to a massive wave of success, selling millions of copies immediately and becoming the 2nd most concurrently-played game of all time on Steam – with more than 3 million concurrents across PC and PS5. Just 3 days on from its launch, the game had already sold over 10 million copies.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the team behind Black Myth: Wukong – Game Science – announced that the title has “sold 10 million copies across all platforms. (Data as of 21:00 Beijing time, August 23, 2024),” adding “Thanks to all players worldwide for your support and love.”

While it may seem as though Black Myth: Wukong blew up out of nowhere, the game has been in the back of many players’ minds ever since it was first revealed back in 2020.

Additionally, being developed by a Chinese studio, the game has proven to be a major hit in its country of origin, with reports stating that “Sony Group Corp. ran a sales promotion for its PlayStation 5 in China for the week around Wukong’s launch and saw stores sell out of the console.”

With Black Myth: Wukong becoming one of the fastest selling games of all time in a 3 day period (surpassing Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy), it’ll be interesting to see just how much more the game will grow over the course of the rest of the year.
