A new 1.6GB patch is now available for Black Myth: Wukong. It aims to fix the action-RPG game's crashing issues. Additionally, the update aims to fix the Destined One's stuck stances in the sixth chapter as well as provide better translations for talents and equipment.
On Steam, developer Game Science detailed patch 1.0.8.14860 and noted that 80GB of free space is required to update Black Myth: Wukong due to the “platform update mechanism.” Two of the planned crash fixes are for AMD and Nvidia. Apparently, enabling FSR “could cause crashes for some players during startup or the prologue,” while Nvidia’s Full Ray Tracing was creating issues in Webbed Hollow. At launch, Game Science said it was aware of “occasional serious issues” for Black Myth: Wukong.

Other aspects addressed in Black Myth: Wukong with this patch include hair effects. For example, Game Science stated that previously “hair was stretching abnormally.” This should be fixed in addition to better hair effects for the Yaoguai King “Lingxuzi.”
Earlier this month, Black Myth: Wukong recorded the second-highest concurrent player count ever on Steam, with over 2.4 million people. At the time of publication, the action-RPG had over 1.3 million concurrent players, according to SteamDB, and that obviously doesn't include anyone on PS5. Black Myth: Wukong also sold over 10 million copies in just a few days, making it one of the best-selling games of all time.
