The development process for Black Myth: Wukong, which has been ongoing for five years, is nearing its end. On August 16, the review embargo will be lifted, allowing us to see how well the game performs. To prepare, a free benchmark tool has been released on Steam, enabling players to check how the game will run on their PCs.
Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool Details
The highly anticipated AAA action RPG Black Myth: Wukong is set to release on August 20. Developed by Game Science and inspired by the Chinese novel “Journey to the West,” the game previewed its high-quality visuals with a trailer released last week.
The benchmark tool, which is 7 GB in size, allows players to test how their systems handle the game’s graphics by rendering a sequence in real time. This gives users a chance to adjust their settings for the best experience. However, changing settings like ray tracing may require restarting the tool.
Users can also share their test results with the developers, potentially helping to identify and address software and hardware compatibility issues before the official game launch. Game Science mentioned on X (formerly Twitter), “Your benchmark results can help the development team better identify potential software and hardware compatibility issues before the official game release.”
You can test whether your PC can run the game by visiting the relevant Steam page and installing the benchmark tool.
