Black Myth: Wukong cost to play

Black Myth: Wukong is a single-player action game sold at a one-off price. It has no in-game currency, battle pass or random items; the only add-on is a Deluxe upgrade with fixed items. So this page covers the cost of the game itself, and the player count.

How it plays

Black Myth: Wukong is a single-player action role-playing game based on Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. You play the Destined One, travelling through a series of landscapes drawn from the story.

Fighting is the core of the game. The novel is known for its large cast of adversaries, and Game Science builds the journey around battles with powerful foes and rivals. Alongside staff techniques, you use spells, transformations and magic vessels, which can counter or strengthen each other, and you can combine spells, abilities, weapons and equipment to suit your own style of combat.

Between fights, the game fills in the stories of the characters you meet and fight, their origins and their motives. The publisher recommends a gamepad and lists full controller support on PC.

What it costs

On Steam UK the Standard Edition costs £49.99 and the Digital Deluxe Edition £59.99. On the PlayStation Store UK the same editions cost £54.99 and £64.99, so the PlayStation versions are £5 dearer. On the Xbox Store UK (Xbox Series X|S) the Standard Edition is also £54.99 (checked 28 October 2026). On both stores the Deluxe Edition Upgrade costs £10.00 for owners of the Standard Edition, which comes to the same total as buying the Deluxe Edition outright.

The PlayStation Store lists the Deluxe contents as the Bronzecloud Staff, the Folk Opera armour set and mask, Wind Chimes and a selection from the soundtrack.
