Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool is now available on Steam

In just the past few weeks, we've received the exciting news that Black Myth: Wukong has officially completed its development phase, and we've been treated to stunning graphics and gameplay in the final trailer. The release date for this highly anticipated soul-like title, inspired by Chinese mythology, is just a few weeks away.

However, as the official release approaches, the PC gaming community has raised concerns about whether their systems can handle Black Myth: Wukong. Their worries are understandable, given that the game is developed on the Unreal Engine 5, an engine known for its cutting-edge graphics and technology but also notorious for performance issues.

Fortunately, Game Science has provided a solution to these concerns. Recently, on August 13, Game Science released the Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool on Steam, allowing PC gamers to preliminarily check their hardware performance and system compatibility for running the game.
 

Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool is a PC benchmark application specifically developed for Black Myth: Wukong. It evaluates hardware performance and system compatibility through the real-time rendering of an in-game sequence. You can customize benchmark settings to preview game visuals and performance under different graphics options. This tool is separate from the Black Myth: Wukong game itself and is non-playable.
 

This tool has partly addressed concerns about real-world performance, enabling players to use the results to determine whether they need to upgrade their PC or reconsider purchasing the game. According to feedback from those who have tested the software, the actual performance is somewhat in line with the previously revealed system requirements for Black Myth: Wukong. They also note that Black Myth: Wukong demands a significant amount of RAM and VRAM to run smoothly.

Currently, this tool is only available via the Steam platform. Whether you have purchased Black Myth: Wukong or not, you can visit the corresponding store page to download it for free and run the benchmark.

Black Myth: Wukong is scheduled for release on August 20, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC. An Xbox Series X/S version will be released later due to optimization issues. If your PC is powerful enough to run the game or you have a PS5, don't forget to use our trusty price comparison tool to get Black Myth: Wukong at the best price.
