Black Myth: Wukong crushes Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077's all-time player records on Steam with 1.2 million and counting
Black Myth: Wukong reaches 1.2 million players on Steam, surpassing Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077's milestones.
Black Myth: Wukong has made an impressive debut, reaching over 1.2 million players on Steam just two hours after its launch. This milestone has already surpassed the high player counts of well-established games like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077, which had previously set records on the platform according to SteamDB.
The game's spectacular launch numbers place it in good standing to surpass other major titles such as Dota 2. The real challenge ahead for Black Myth: Wukong will be to exceed the concurrent player records held by PUBG and Palworld, which currently stand at 3.26 million and 2.1 million respectively.
Considering its rapid rise in popularity, spurred by heightened interest and early player engagement before peak gaming times globally, breaking these records seems entirely feasible. As the day progresses and more of the world's gamers log in, these numbers are expected to climb even higher.
