Black Myth: Wukong Launches with Impressive Concurrent Player Peak

Black Myth: Wukong was released 10 hours ago but has already beaten Cyberpunk 2077's record concurrent player numbers on Steam, and it doesn't plan to stop. At the moment of writing, the peak of activity was met by 1,443,570 people, according to SteamDB.

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG based on the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West, featuring mighty beasts from Chinese mythology. 

The game's concurrent player peak is impressive and puts it second among single-player titles. Overall, it starts fourth, following PUBG, Palworld, and Counter-Strike 2. Below it are Lost Ark, Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring.

Black Myth: Wukong received a ray tracing update a week before launch, and its Benchmark Tool saw 85,000 users at the same time, so its popularity should have been anticipated, perhaps, although I doubt anyone could see such rapid growth less than a day after the release.
