Wukong is already the 4th most performed recreation ever on Steam, and 2nd highest this 12 months – WGB

It may be onerous to gauge precisely how excited individuals are for any given recreation previous to its launch. Black Fable: Wukong, the console recreation debut from Chinese language developer Sport Science, has been extremely anticipated, however I actually didn’t suppose it was going to do that properly.

The PC launch has gone so properly that Black Fable: Wukong at present has the 4th highest concurrent participant depend ever seen on Steam. That’s based on SteamDB which says the sport hit a peak concurrent participant depend of 1,443,570 gamers simply 4 hours in the past as I write this.

That’s sufficient for the sport to say 4th place when it comes to highest concurrent participant counts of all time on Steam, slightly below 400,000 gamers shy of beating Counter Strike 2’s greatest peak.

It doesn’t fairly give Black Fable: Wukong the honour of being essentially the most performed recreation of the 12 months thus far, although – that report remains to be held by Palworld which achieved a peak concurrent participant depend of two,101,287. Nevertheless it does give it 2nd place.

Notable video games Black Fable: Wukong has defeated to say its 4th place are Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3.

In fact, there’s an opportunity Black Fable’s numbers will continue to grow. Sometimes video games will hit their highest numbers within the first day or two after which taper off, however generally they handle to continue to grow. Helldivers 2 is an efficient instance, as is Baldur’s Gate 3.

We additionally don’t know the way properly the sport is doing on PlayStation 5 the place it may be drawing in even increased numbers.

Regardless, it seems to be like Black Fable: Wukong can be an enormous success for Sport Science.
