The 2024 action video game, Black Myth: Wukong, is set to receive a new update, as per the developers. This update will be accessible across all platforms, but it will be especially significant for those who own a PS5.

Update Details

Starting today, the update will gradually roll out and will include various fixes and optimizations for this award-winning title. An announcement on X from the official Black Myth account revealed that PS5 users will need a substantial 93.5GB of storage for the update. The size is due to the differences in how files are stored on the console.

Storage Considerations

Given the increasing size of many games nowadays, PS5 owners (which you can find on Amazon for $499) may find themselves short on space for this update. These players might want to keep playing the current version or consider uninstalling the game to then redownload the latest version, which is numbered 1.0.20.21756.

Important Notice for PC Users

For PC gamers who have mods installed, it is recommended to remove those mods and check the game’s integrity before restarting. Failing to do so post-update could lead to compatibility problems that could stop the game from launching, prevent saved games from loading, or cause errors during gameplay.

Moreover, the announcement indicates that the update may necessitate shader recompilation. If users face crashes while this process occurs, they should restart the game until the compilation finishes or opt to skip it. You can find the complete changelog for the update on Game Science’s official website.
