Black Myth: Wukong reportedly crosses 30m sales as Game Science says results exceeded expectations

Black Myth: Wukong has reportedly crossed 30 million copies sold, according to a report published by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China. Developer Game Science hasn't confirmed that specific number, but told Eurogamer the game has achieved results beyond our expectations in both China and international markets.

For context, that figure would put Black Myth: Wukong ahead of Elden Ring, which FromSoftware announced had shipped over 30 million copies worldwide in April last year, and close behind Cyberpunk 2077, which CD Projekt Red confirmed had sold 35 million copies as of last November. Hitting 30 million in under two years is a faster pace than either of those titles managed.

Game Science's last official milestone was 10 million copies sold across all platforms within four days of launch in August 2024. The studio declined to share updated figures but said it remains incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and support from players around the world. The game was also nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, ultimately losing to Astro Bot.

Game Science is already working on the next game in the Black Myth series. No details have been announced yet, but the original's commercial and cultural impact — it's widely credited with sparking a wave of big-budget Chinese console and PC games — means expectations for whatever comes next are already sky-high.
