Black Myth: Wukong Breaks Steam Pre-Load Record, Surpasses Cyberpunk 2077

Black Myth: Wukong has set a remarkable milestone even before its official release. The highly anticipated action RPG from Game Science triggered a record-breaking surge in Steam’s bandwidth usage during its pre-load phase, surpassing the previous record held by Cyberpunk 2077.

During the pre-load period, Steam witnessed a peak bandwidth usage of 70Tbps. A massive influx of downloads from Asia drove this surge, accounting for 59.3 Tbps of the total bandwidth. In contrast, Cyberpunk 2077 peaked at 51Tbps during its launch in 2020, making Black Myth: Wukong’s achievement all the more impressive.

This extraordinary demand highlights the global anticipation for Black Myth: Wukong, particularly in the Asian market. The game promises 40 hours of gameplay filled with boss battles, stunning visuals, and much more.

The significant interest in Black Myth: Wukong has been evident since the release of its benchmark tool, which drew thousands of players. Now, with the record-setting pre-loads, it’s clear that the game is poised to be one of the biggest releases of 2024.

Black Myth: Wukong will officially launch on August 20 for PlayStation 5 and PC, with the Xbox Series X|S launch temporarily postponed.
