Steam statistics revealed that 88% of Black Myth Wukong owners live in China. This may explain the massive concurrent player count the game has seen since its launch, and so far this morning, it has surpassed 1 million concurrent players.
The game has become the biggest single-player launch in Steam history, beating out giants like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3, and even prestigious multiplayer games like CS2. This may be due to the support of Chinese players for the game.
