Black Myth: Wukong has already delivered one of the biggest launches in Steam history, making it one of the most successful games of 2024 just a day after release. Amid some performance complaints from PC players, developer Game Science posted an update that noted that you may experience "occasional serious issues" playing it on PC, due to the "game's vast scale and the myriad of software and hardware environments."

Many resource-intensive games suffer from some degree of technical issues after launch, but Game Science has taken the unusual step of providing a detailed FAQ that breaks down common problems that players have reported. These include video memory errors with 13th and 14th generation Intel CPUs, a driver issue with AMD GPUs, and frame rate woes, especially with 40-series Nvidia cards.

Black Myth: Wukong recently exceeded 2.2 million concurrent players, giving it the second-highest peak player count in the history of Steam, a feat made all the more impressive thanks to its $60 price tag. The game also garnered headlines in recent days thanks to its highly unusual content guidelines given to streamers covering the game, telling them not to discuss COVID or "feminist propaganda" when covering the game.
