Black Myth: Wukong has taken the Steam charts by storm, much to the delight of Palworld’s community manager, Bucky.

Developed by the China-based studio Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong has quickly risen to become the second-largest Steam game ever in terms of concurrent players. Remarkably, this milestone was achieved in less than a day since its release.

According to SteamDB, the game’s all-time peak concurrent player count sits at an impressive 2.2 million. This surpasses Palworld’s record of 2.101 million players by over 100,000.

Despite the fierce competition, Bucky embraces the challenge with enthusiasm. In a tweet, he expressed support for Black Myth: Wukong in a direct Steam rivalry, stating, “I’d vote for Wukong.” He praised the game as a positive influence on the Chinese gaming landscape, highlighting it as proof that a well-crafted single-player title can achieve massive success without relying on endless microtransactions typical of mobile hybrids.

Bucky expressed his excitement over Black Myth: Wukong’s phenomenal performance, hoping the game surpasses 4 million players.

He remarked that we likely won't witness another title reaching such heights until the release of GTA 6.

Analysts point out that a significant portion of Wukong's success is driven by its massive popularity in China.

Some developers believe this could spark a major transformation within the Chinese gaming market.

Yet, even if the Chinese player base were excluded, the remaining 10-15% international audience is still substantial enough to classify Wukong as a major hit.

The game ranks among the top sellers across multiple regions on Steam, highlighting its widespread appeal.

While the future remains uncertain, especially with big releases on the horizon, Wukong’s unexpected rise has shaken up expectations.

Palworld, which launched earlier this year, was also an unexpected success, showing that surprises can still emerge in the gaming scene.

With several blockbuster titles scheduled for release, it's unclear which will challenge the dominance of Game Science’s action RPG.
