Just hours after its debut, Black Myth: Wukong is already breaking records on Steam. Black Myth: Wukong is currently the top-played game on Steam with a peak of 2,151,942 concurrent players at the time of writing. That puts developer Game Science’s retelling of Journey to the West in the second slot for the highest concurrent player counts ever on Steam, following only PUBG: Battlegrounds, which peaked at 3,257,248 in January 2018.
Black Myth: Wukong has surpassed Elden Ring, Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, Counter-Strike 2, and Palworld — all of which hold formidable concurrent player records. Black Myth: Wukong is also available on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via the Epic Games Store and Chinese platform WeGame; the record on Steam does not account for players on those platforms. WeGame reportedly has around 80 million players per month, according to an FAQ page for developers. Steam had 132 million monthly active users in 2021.
