![Black Myth: Wukong Becomes Steam's No. 2 Most Popular Game Of All Time After Less Than 24 Hours](https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/screen_medium/1179/11799911/4353490-screenshot2024-08-20at8.34.29am.png)
Black Myth: Wukong is out now for PC and PlayStation 5, and on Steam, the game is seeing extraordinary popularity right out of the gate. The game has exceeded 2.2 million concurrent players, surpassing the all-time peak concurrent records for titles like Dota 2 (1.2 million), Counter-Strike 2 (1.8 million), and more. It is Steam's most popular game today based on concurrent players.
On August 20, Black Myth: Wukong passed Palworld's all-time record (2.1 million concurrent players), but remains well short of the all-time record-holder, PUBG, which reached an astonishing 3.2 million concurrent players. Of note, titles like Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, and PUBG are free, whereas Black Myth costs $60. The game is also the No. 1 title on Steam's top-selling games chart.
A significant portion of Black Myth: Wukong's playerbase comes from China, according to a report. Another development is that Palworld developer Pocketpair has congratulated Black Myth: Wukong on surpassing Palword's concurrent player figure on Steam.
