Coming from cls.cn (which has been translated, so please take everything with a grain of salt), a Chinese business news site, Black Myth: Wukong has reportedly sold 4.5 million copies across Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and WeGame, with sales coming up to 1.5 billion Yuan, or roughly $210 million USD.

Looking at the Black Myth: Wukong player count, it's not hard to believe these figures, with the game absolutely exploding onto the scene and coming in as the second most concurrently played game on the platform ever. And with regard to user reviews, according to this article, 90% of the 95% positive ratings on Steam are thanks to Chinese players, which seems... like a lot.

In any case, it's clear most people are genuinely enjoying this title, with all round positive reviews from most outlets.

On another site, some folks in China discussed the potential for the game surpassing five million total sales. (This source is also translated.)

Some of the responses to this discussion thread show some interesting insight, with user 'luckyrayyy' stating, "5 million is a sure thing; it feels like just the domestic popularity can contribute to over 5 million in sales" and user 'doudou555' setting their expectations a little too low by saying, "I predict sales will be around 2 million". Discussions surrounding this game are genuinely fascinating, as it's not often we see games that are equally popular in two vastly different regions of the world, so seeing the interactions between such normally separated groups of gamers is something to behold.
