Watching some stream of it atm, very pretty game, but nothing that makes me want to jump on the hype train especially considering my Steam backlog is big enough to keep me busy until I die at this point.

Can’t believe more people are playing Black Myth: Wukong than Banana…

Can any PC players give their opinions on optimization?

It’s got 2.2 million concurrent players on Steam players now. Absolutely insane.

What monstrous numbers. I think more than anything, this could lead to Chinese devs pivoting to more single player experiences, as there is clearly a market for them over there. Which can only be a good thing for gamers overall.

I thought this was an ad for a new show called Black Myth Busters.

Please PS5 physical release now!

It is no coincidence that monkeys rule gaming since donkey kong. Return to monke

Looks fun, maybe I’ll check it out.

Take this as a note and develop AAA single player experiences once in a while instead of low effort horny gachas all the time.

As i know, there were already near 2m preorder from Chinese gamers after the 2~3 weeks of the summer game show, the developers reveal the release date and price.

And soulslikes continue to rise with the same exact game progression and gameplay for over 10 years now

Im sure the CCP appreciates it

Hogwarts legacy and this game both had incredible opening numbers. I wonder if all the “negative” publicity that they got helped them.
I remember an old saying “there is no such thing as bad publicity”. I think this sort of proves that a bit. I am sure a lot of people heard about the game because it looked awesome. But I am sure that there are other people who heard about the game because of the controversy.

Putting all the controversy aside. This game would help grow more single game market for the Chinese gaming market, and every single game developer around world could benefit from this. It’s not that hard, just make good games.
For the record, I don’t hate Genshin impact and Mihoyo, but the Chinese gaming market has long been dominated by mobile gacha shit which only care about printing money.
Finally some single game developer come out and lead the way to create more solid good SP games in the furture.

So, I was aware of this game but I had no idea it was so popular. Anyone know why it’s doing these massive numbers? Not a single person on my Steam friends list (199 people) owns it which is kind of crazy given the numbers it’s pulling.

It’s clear that by now the people want single player pve games, without micro transactions, without being rushed, and without modern politics. Hopefully this is a wake up call to the rest of the industry.

The game jurno smear campaign didn’t work .
fuzzynavel34
That is disappointing
SimmerDown_Boilup
But can the devs see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
The_Newhope
The game is fantasic playing on the PS5 and no issues so far, probably my 2nd favorite game this after unicorn overlord.
mattttherman
Its over 2.2mill right now

It’s china, I wouldn’t trust any numbers lol. Between bots, pre-orders, and artifical fill I’m sure there’s some wild shenanigans going on. I’m not putting a sponsored chinese game on my system.

Who knew a good, well optimised game could sell well?

This is a win for single player games, I hope many game devs focus more on quality single player.

As of right now, this is literally the only post-release thread at r/gaming about the game. And it was submitted 35 minutes ago.
The game was released yesterday, and it set the All-time record for the 2nd most concurrent players on Steam. But you wouldn’t know it from looking at r/gaming. Because every single thread about the game was nuked by the mods.
Why?
Rougarou92
I know nothing of this game, is it like Elden ring??
getyergun
I’m gonna go buy this on PS5 right now.
Love it when games do well. It’s a pure representation of the devs hard work and care for the gamers/industry. You have my support 100%
Hafeesco
Incredible numbers. The Chinese are going all out to support their own devs.
Too bad I can’t afford it I would have bought it just to spite on the western media bullshit.
redshorts9112
The devs definitely made the right choice basing their game on sun wukong myth
Laura540Young
Wow, Black Myth: Wukong is smashing records like Wukong smashes foes!
bcroft686
How does it work with this being free with a nvidia card? Does it only count as a sale if the code is used and added to your library?
