Black Myth: Wukong Sells Over 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days of Launch

Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, surpassing all expectations. Souls-like games, particularly those from genre pioneers like FromSoftware—known for titles such as Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne—are immensely popular. However, Game Science's debut in this style has set new records, outshining even these iconic games.

Game Science announced on X that Black Myth: Wukong has sold 10 million copies across all platforms since its release on August 20th. The game also achieved over 3 million concurrent players on PC and PS5, with over 2 million on Steam alone, propelling it to the second most played game in history, only behind PUBG.

This remarkable achievement positions it as one of 2024's best-selling games, rivaling titles like Helldivers 2, Palworld, and College Football 25. With the game still in its early days, there’s potential for it to claim the top spot as excitement continues to build in the coming weeks and months. The game's popularity has been so overwhelming that it led to a PS5 shortage in China, with players rushing to get their hands on the console to experience the new Souls-like adventure.
