In Less Than 24 Hours, Black Myth: Wukong Becomes the Most Played Single-player Game Ever on Steam
/
In less than 24 hours, Black Myth: Wukong, the new action RPG from Chinese developer Game Science, has hit the Steam charts and quickly rose to becoming the most-played single-player game of all time on the platform. As of this writing, Steamdb shows that the game was able to amass a concurrent player count of over 2.2 million players on the Steam platform alone, beating records made by single-player titles such as Cyberpunk and Elden Ring.
Black Myth: Wukong was released on August 20 on PC and the PS5. This is all done on day one.
At this rate, Wukong might even reach the number 1 spot, making it the most-played game on Steam overall. But to reach the top, they will have to surpass the current king which is PUBG: Battlegrounds with an impressive 3.2 million all-time concurrent peak, roughly a million shy as of this writing. I wouldn’t be surprised at this point.
Everything is going well for developer Game Science as Black Myth: Wukong’s reception from critics is most positive as it has a Metacritic score of 82 for the PC version of the game. As for Steam user reviews, it currently sits at ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ with over 7k user reviews.
Guilty Gear Strive is not only a miraculous 60fps port that makes the most minimal of sacrifices, keeping the 2021 masterpiece’s crisp animated effects and characters, but they managed to bring over every one of the game’s features to the aging Nintendo Switch with minimal loading times.
