It runs from June 18th to July 3rd on the PlayStation Store and June 20th to July 11th on Steam and the Epic Games Store, offering the same 20 percent discount. Black Myth: Wukong launched last August and received extensive critical acclaim, including a nomination at The Game Awards 2024 for Game of the Year (it would win Best Action Game and Player Choice). It sold a whopping 18 million units in two weeks and reportedly crossed 25 million as of last February. An expansion is in the works. The Xbox Series X/S version faced its share of delays, with rumors varying between technical issues and an exclusivity deal with PlayStation. While Sony never confirmed this, it did provide “tons of support” to the developer. Game Science’s studio founder also criticized the Series S’s RAM limitations.
