The action epic Black Myth: Wukong is a huge commercial success; this is now also evident from fresh sales figures on Steam alone. Even there, a magical mark has been almost broken, without even including the sales of the PS5 version.
Game Science has delivered an unexpectedly big blockbuster with Black Myth: Wukong, which is causing a sensation on both PC and PlayStation 5. This is now clear from new figures, as sales on Steam alone have now reached an almost magical and incredibly large mark.
So hat VG Insights has now published new data and also looks at the game’s revenue. According to the data, Black Myth: Wukong has sold more than 18 million copies on Valve’s Steam platform alone since the game was released on August 20th. This in turn means revenue or sales of $880 million for the development studio. In short: The magic mark of $1 billion in sales is not far away and is likely to be reached exclusively on Steam.
Steam is generally considered a good indicator of a game’s success, as a relatively large amount of data is accessible and readable via various channels. How well Black Myth: Wukong is selling on the PS5, for example, is not known because there is no freely accessible data there. However, both versions of the game taken together have certainly already exceeded the billion mark by a long way.
Want more key data about the game? On average, the vast number of players spent 31.9 hours playing Black Myth: Wukong, which means they spent a lot of time in the title. The peak number of concurrent gamers on Steam is over 2.4 million, which is enough to put it in second place on the platform. And: these player numbers have remained fairly stable to date, as in the last 24 hours the peak was still well over 1.1 million concurrent players – a remarkable figure for a single-player game that has now been available for two weeks.
Accordingly, it would only be logical if Game Science would actually deliver fresh content in the form of DLC. Recently, there were initial signs that two major expansions could be planned for Black Myth: Wukong.
To whet your appetite for the launch of Black Myth: Wukong on August 20th, there is another nearly five-minute long gameplay trailer.
