New Black Myth Wukong benchmark already bigger than most Steam games

The free Black Myth Wukong benchmark already has more players than most other releases on Steam, and the game itself isn't even out yet.

Black Myth Wukong isn't even out yet, and it's already amassed 80,000 concurrent players on Steam. Game Science's soulslike take on Journey to the West could very well be the most action-packed game in the genre since Sekiro, and while we wait for reviews to come in, a new PC benchmarking tool is proving exceedingly popular. So if you want to experience Black Myth Wukong's gorgeous world while making sure your PC can run the game at launch, this is for you.

With the Black Myth Wukong ahead of time.

We've already run through the Black Myth Wukong already topping the Steam sales chart, and it's safe to assume that this soulslike is going to be massive.

Plenty of PC games release free tools like this – FF14 Dawntrail's benchmark even lets you create a character before getting started. All you can do in Black Myth Wukong's benchmark is watch a camera shot sweep through a tranquil forest and river, and while it's certainly delightful, it doesn't indicate how well your rig will fare during combat.
