Black Myth Wukong has barely been out for half a day and already the first AAA game from Chinese studio Game Science has climbed to fourth on Steam’s concurrent all-time peak player count, pushing ahead of behemoth titles like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077.
Right now, Black Myth Wukong is sitting at a player count of 1,423,400 with only three multiplayer titles—PUBG: Battlegrounds, Palworld, and Counter-Strike 2—ahead of it on Steam. This is doubly impressive as this is without counting players on PlayStation and other PC storefronts like Epic Games Store and China-exclusive WeGame. Everything combined, we are already looking at perhaps one of the biggest video game launches in history, though we’ll want to wait for official numbers to substantiate any records.
