The success of Black Myth: Wukong shows no signs of slowing down. The action RPG, inspired by the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, has surpassed the 25 million copies sold worldwide.
Since its launch in August 2024, Black Myth: Wukong has amassed an enormous community with its visuals, gameplay, and story. It has become the single-player game in Steam history with the most concurrent in-game players, peaking at over 2.2 million users soon after launch.
This incredible momentum continued, with the game selling 10 million copies in its first three days and reaching 20 million sales within a month. Now, nearly six months after its debut, Black Myth: Wukong has crossed the 25 million mark, according to Niko News (via Game World Observer).
While the game has garnered a dedicated fanbase worldwide, its popularity in China is at another level. It has become a cultural phenomenon. According to Yicai Global, a recently opened Black Myth: Wukong merchandise store in the country reportedly earned over $410,000 within its first three days, and many products quickly sold out.
KitGuru says: With its impressive sales figures, critical acclaim, and dedicated fanbase, the game is already a success even if it doesn't sell any more copies. However, we believe that won't happen, and the sales figures will only increase as time passes.
