Overview
- A document from China’s Central Committee of the Communist Youth League published Wednesday says Black Myth: Wukong has sold more than 30 million copies and that over half of those sales came from outside China.
- Game Science responded to queries the same day by saying it had no new public sales figures beyond the 10 million copies it announced four days after launch, while adding the title had “achieved results beyond our expectations.”
- The game first launched for PC and PlayStation 5 in August 2024 and reached 10 million copies within four days, with Xbox Series versions arriving about a year later.
- Coverage of the CYL document identifies PC via Steam as the primary sales platform and notes strong PlayStation 5 sales, matching the game’s early Steam concurrent‑player and streaming records.
- Game Science is developing the next Black Myth entry, Zhong Kui, and if the 30 million number is verified it would mark an unusually fast climb to that milestone compared with recent global hits, a trend that could boost hiring, investment and Western market focus for Chinese studios.
