Black Myth: Wukong has had an explosive international release, but the excitement is reaching new heights in China, where Sonyโ€™s PlayStation 5 is selling out everywhere because of the game. Game Science, the developer of Black Myth, is a Chinese studio, that based it on a classic Chinese tale, Journey to the West, which is why its success in China is so impressive.

The news comes from consultant Daniel Camilo, the console is selling out all across China, and even the largest stores in the country, like Huaqianbei, struggling to match the level of orders. Where there is a console shortage, there are scalpers, and China is no different. The lack of supply has resulted in people buying and reselling consoles at a higher price, aka scalping, all over China.

Scalping hasnโ€™t been a thing anywhere in the world since the chip shortage got sorted out. The PlayStation 5 situation just goes to show the level of interest Black Myth: Wukong has garnered in China.

On the global scale, Black Myth: Wukong has taken the second spot for the game with the highest concurrent player number on Steam, falling short of PUBG only. And it continues to grow as the days roll on. Black Myth: Wukong came out on August 19, and in the first week, it has already cross over 10 million sales all over the world.

These numbers mean that Wukong has overtaken heavy hitters like Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Palworld, Baldurโ€™s Gate 3, and Hogwarts Legacy, in terms of how quickly it has reached this level of success. It will be interesting to see how these sales numbers continue as the weeks roll on, and if this game can reach the top spot in launch month sales.

Black Myth: Wukong is an action RPG epic that is based on the 16th-century Journey to the West novel, which is also the inspiration for Son Goku from Dragon Ball Z, and thatโ€™s why the two protagonists seem like theyโ€™re cut from the same cloth because they are.
