Massive Black Myth Wukong PS5 Update May Require Reinstalling the Game

Black Myth Wukong receives a new update today aimed at enhancing performance and fixing bugs across all platforms. However, PlayStation 5 users might face installation challenges due to space requirements.
Major Update Concerns for PS5 Players
Today’s update demands about 93.5GB of free storage on PS5. This significant space requirement stems from the file storage methods the platform uses. The base game itself already takes up around 130GB. Adding the update will push it to 210GB, taking a substantial part of the PS5’s 667GB available storage after system files.
Managing Storage Issues
Players struggling with storage might consider uninstalling and redownloading the game. According to Black Myth X, this method could be more efficient as it reorganizes the game’s file structure without needing double the space.
Impact on PC Mods
PC gamers should be wary of potential mod compatibility issues following the update. It’s advisable to remove mods temporarily and wait for their updates to ensure smooth gameplay.
Black Myth Wukong: A Milestone for Chinese Games
Despite mixed reviews, Black Myth Wukong sold over 10 million copies globally since its launch last year. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Chinese game developers, similar to the impact The Witcher had on Polish gaming. Game Science, the developer, plans to build on this success with a thematic continuation featuring Zhong Kui, though the release date remains unspecified.
- Update Date: 13th October
