Pretty good example of how even a game of lesser quality can have very high sales when there is specific audience for it.
Yeah, china has a massive population. I wonder how many chinese went and boughts a ps5/ pc upgrade for this game. The hype there is crazy
Yeah, in this case China. Earlier this year there was Palworld, also for fairly specific audience (I have to admit being guilty of getting it for my older son who likes Pokemon). I expect we'll see quite a few of such cases in following years.
Man that's crazy! Sony need to buy Game Science immediately
Everyone keeps saying China (as if that is a bad thing), which I'm sure is true, but at the same time I know more people who bought and are playing Black Myth than any Call of Duty within the past five years, or Sony single-player adventure title, or other big release. I feel like this is a legitimate worldwide hit, and rightly so. The game is absolutely amazing!
Sony has released their sales charts, and Black Myth: Wukong was the number one most downloaded game on the PlayStation Store in August, in both North America and across Europe.
Well deserved. Though i'm guessing this game is being pushed heavily in China.
