- Black Myth: Wukong has yet to receive a patch for the PS5 Pro.
- However, analysis for the game is already out, and it struggles to maintain 60FPS in performance mode.
- Experts previously revealed that the pro could make a tremendous difference, but the game drops to as low as 32 FPS.
Black Myth: Wukong, the biggest hit of 2024, had some performance issues due to it being on Unreal Engine 5. While the performance issues didn’t bother much on mid-high-end PCs, they were notable on the consoles in some areas.
However, except for the minor stutters and FPS drops, the game didn’t have many problems. Fans were expecting the PS5 Pro to fix these problems, but the console failed to maintain 60FPS in performance mode, and the stutters are still there.
Why it matters: The PS5 Pro has a hefty price tag, so its inability to run games at 60FPS is quite concerning for fans who are looking for reasons to buy it.
It should be noted that the game doesn’t have a PS5 Pro patch yet, but it is still disappointing that a console that was compared with the likes of 7800XT before launch can’t even maintain 60FPS in a lot of games.
According to the analysis, Black Myth: Wukong drops to as low as 32FPS on the PS5 Pro performance mode. The pro variant is getting a lot of heat due to such performance issues, as many games that are enhanced for the console are also struggling to maintain 60FPS.
CPU-intensive games are also running poorly, making the console lose to RX 6800, a 4-year-old card.
Fans should also note that Black Myth: Wukong on the pro console doesn’t have any graphical upgrades, and it is still struggling to maintain 60FPS. Even Digital Foundry was expecting the pro variant to deliver a tremendous difference.
While there is no news regarding the PS5 Pro patch for Black Myth: Wukong, it might get one soon enough, which could improve the performance issues and, of course, provide visual upgrades, too.
