Black Myth: Wukong has broken all time concurrent player number record for a single-player game on Steam (EDIT: Currently 2nd most played)

[Kokoloko]

So its Steam’s most played single player game? Over Elden Ring and Cyber Punk….

I dont know what to think about that tbh lol. Id expect the greatest games to be at the top of the list

Steam always leaned towards favoring international audiences with the times player populations for certain games peak etc…

This kinda brings forth for data to that being the case.

Really cool to see.

In honor of the hit pieces of old on games that were exclusive to PS. This game flopped sales wise as it did not sell a billion copies at launch.

If Sony had released another third person action game vs Wukong would that be better?

Yes? Two good games to play/look forward to > 1 good game to play/look forward to.

Its like 8 pm in China now, Peak timing for the game I remember they opened pre-order for the collector's edition at this time, the international ones sold out in 3 mins and in china in 15 secs

r/Gaming is banning anyone who speaks about this positively and removing posts.

If I were Sony CEO I would be picking up the phone to Game Science and Mihoyo right now and getting a marketing deal. Bundle with Wukong and some Genshin/ZZZ creds l. $399 in China. It would sell a million consoles easy.

Holy shit do these idiots really believe people are so jobless to peddle these conspiracies?

That remember me when Microsoft tried to use 1% of the China to dominate the game market.

 

[On Demand]

I wonder how many are playing on PS5.

This is one of the reasons how first party games on PC hurts your own console. All the marketing is being focused on steam stats.

I don't know, but I bet it would've been better than whatever revenue is coming out of Concord.

The coping and seething on pedoera has been glorious to watch, now they are in the phase of this game is not on par with BG3/Elden Ring/Cyberpunk copium narrative lol. Now I am excited for what the Phantom Blade 0 devs are going to cook up and the other CHP games

Game is actually doing quite well outside of China as well... 250kish CCU global is very solid for a single player game on steam
