During the Tokyo Game Show, it was announced that Black Myth: Wukong achieved record sales in its first month. Between August 20 and September 20, the game reached 20 million copies sold. The game has quickly become a focal point and a favorite among gamers, drawing attention with its impressive sales success. Here are the details…
Black Myth: Wukong Shakes Up the Gaming Sector
Black Myth: Wukong has sent a strong message to some of the biggest hits of recent years, such as Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Achieving incredible sales success, the game has made a significant impact on the industry in just one month.
FromSoftware’s Elden Ring, released for both console and PC, reached 20 million copies sold one year after its launch. Meanwhile, Hogwarts Legacy, developed by Warner Bros. Games and the best-selling game of 2023, hit 22 million copies sold after 11 months. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which surpassed the sales charts, was released for Nintendo Switch in May and reached 20 million copies in just six months.
The release of the Sony PS5 Pro special edition was disappointing. The limited edition console ended up on the black market.
It’s worth noting that Black Myth: Wukong is currently available only on PC and PS5, with the release date for the Xbox version yet to be announced. The limited platform availability and rapid sales increase seem likely to enhance the game’s performance even further. With 20 million copies sold already, it is achieving more striking success than these three major games that have made headlines in recent years.
Most of the game’s sales have come from China, where even the sales of PlayStation 5 have been boosted by the game, allowing it to reach an extraordinary position worldwide.
