The gaming world is looking to the upcoming release of Black Myth: Wukong, and the recent surge in users testing the game’s benchmark tool has only intensified the anticipation. Within days of its release, the benchmark tool has already attracted over 85,000 concurrent users, a staggering number that underscores the massive interest in this highly anticipated title.
At the time of writing, just over 32,000 players are simultaneously putting their PC rigs to the test, eager to determine if their hardware is up to the challenge of running the game. The benchmark’s popularity is a testament to the game’s impressive graphics and gameplay, which have been on display across the trailers – with players wondering if their rig is up to the task.
Black Myth: Wukong benchmark tool gets over 85K concurrent users
Hitting a peak of 85,277 users using the tool at the same time on launch day, the hype is understandably slowing down a little now that many players have run the test. Alas, it has been a successful way of gauging interest, not that we were surprised too much by the numbers. You can see if you can run Black Myth: Wukong for free with this tool and many people have already got to work testing their rigs. Recently, we found that someone could push as high as 77 FPS on the ASUS ROG Ally X, a handheld gaming PC.
Black Myth: Wukong explained
Developed by Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong is based on the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West” and promises to deliver a unique action-adventure experience. With its mythology, visuals, and combat, the game has the potential to become a major player in the gaming industry moving forward.
The overwhelming response to the benchmark is a clear indication that Black Myth: Wukong has the potential to be a blockbuster – perhaps in a similar vein to Ghost of Tsushima or Red Dead Redemption (which we had to give mention to as the original game might finally be coming to PC). If the final product lives up to the hype generated by the benchmark and trailers, it could become one of the most successful games of the year – and it’s bound to be considering it tops Steam’s current wishlist charts.
