Black Myth Wukong Establishes New Steam Record as Fastest Game to Hit 1M Concurrent Players in Just 60 Minutes After Launch

While we reported yesterday that Black Myth Wukong has already Cyberpunk 2077’s record for most pre-loads on Steam, GameScience’s debut game has established another record on the platform today, as it is now the fastest game to hit one million concurrent players on Steam!

Now at over 1.4 million concurrent players on the platform, Black Myth Wukong managed to breach the one million mark in just 60 minutes after launch! The previous title holder was Cyberpunk 2077, which managed to do it in 160 minutes back in 2020.

Here’s the data per Steam Charts:

Note that this number should be considerably higher given we cannot track the PS5 playercount. Chances are, we should be hearing something about this amazing achievement soon via GameScience’s PR team.

Of note, given Black Myth Wukong does not have an online or multiplayer component, don’t expect this number to stick around for long, especially once more and more players finish the game. If it does lose a significant amount of concurrent players, that doesn’t mean it’s fading or the game bombed, but rather, it’s simply due to, y’know, people actually finishing the game and moving on.

In other Black Myth Wukong news, recent developments have surfaced that GameScience’s guidelines for streamers listed that the content creators cannot talk about politics, feminist propaganda and other topics about the game. Even with that negative press attention, it seems it hasn’t affected the game’s ability to sell a boatload of copies.

Stay tuned to our Black Myth Wukong PS5 review hitting the site at some point. For those on Xbox, there’s no word on when Black Myth Wukong will be released on the platform given Microsoft’s latest vague statement about it.
