- Black Myth: Wukong has maintained its position in the top 10 on Steam’s best sellers for nearly two months.

- Despite its massive success, the game was developed on a relatively low budget of $42 million.
Black Myth: Wukong remains a popular game, staying in the top 10 best sellers on Steam nearly two months after it launched. Since its release in August, the game has been a huge hit, earning over $1 billion in revenue just a few weeks after launch.
2 months after launch, the game is showing no signs of slowing down.
Why it matters: A recent tax report revealed that the game only cost $42 million to develop. To generate a billion dollars in revenue and continue to dominate the Steam top seller’s charts 2 months after launch is truly extraordinary.
Black Myth: Wukong’s rapid sales show how popular Chinese-developed games are becoming worldwide, as well as the excitement for challenging action RPGs.
Initially, the game sold well due to the hype around its long-awaited release. Nearly two months later, it remains in the top 10 on Steam’s global charts.
Game Science has announced that the game has sold over 20 million copies worldwide across all platforms as of mid-October.
Black Myth: Wukong sold over 10 million copies in just three days post-launch. This achievement made it one of the fastest-selling games of 2024, building a large player base and securing its spot among the year’s biggest releases.
The game also peaked at over 2.4 million concurrent players on Steam, which is the highest number of concurrent players for a single-player game ever. What’s more fascinating is the fact that as of writing, the game continues to average over 200k concurrent players every day.
Despite its huge success, Black Myth: Wukong is only beginning its journey to the West (pun intended). Game Science plans to release two expansions/DLCs possibly arriving as early as Q1 2025.
This ongoing support will surely draw more players in, so the hype around the game isn’t expected to die anytime soon.
