Black Myth: Wukong has gotten a massive update out of nowhere and if you have auto updates on, its size may come as a shock. 25 years ago, you’d get a game and that was it. There were no updates or patches unless the game was reprinted with some kind of fixes, but that would still mean getting a new copy. You were stuck with whatever the developers gave you, meaning some games would have eternal bugs. Generally, they weren’t as bad as some of the ones we see today, but the modern bugs can also be fixed with big patches.
Nowadays, work on a game never really seems to end. Two months ago, Black Myth: Wukong finally came to Xbox after it was on PlayStation and PC for a year. The studio claims that despite the timing, this wasn’t a result of any kind of exclusivity, but rather optimizing the game for Xbox Series X and S, though seemingly the latter may have been the bigger hang up. After finally getting the game there, many assumed that would be the end of it as the studio quickly announced the next Black Myth game at Gamescom, originally believed to be a big new DLC for Wukong. However, that was not the case.
With all of that said, a new update has been released for Black Myth: Wukong. The new update requires a ton of space on PS5 specifically, though it’s expected to be smaller on other platforms. PS5 players will need 93 GBs of space in order to download the update, but you can still keep playing the older version of the game if you don’t want to download this update.
The new Black Myth: Wukong update largely focuses on performance upgrades, but there are some other fixes as well for the overall gameplay experience. Some users are claiming that the new performance mode has absolutely ruined the lighting in the game, instead just making everything bright as opposed to having nuanced shadows.
