China’s influence sees Black Myth: Wukong plunge 2 million players in hours

Black Myth: Wukong saw a jaw-dropping number of players immediately after its release on Aug. 20, with its peak player count reaching 2,223,179. But after nighttime in China, the player count dropped considerably.

Wukong reached its peak player count around 8am CT. China has a few different timezones, and Wukong’s numbers spiked at 10pm in its capital, Beijing. It’s hardly surprising to see so many Chinese players tuning in to Black Myth: Wukong at that time, and given roughly 90 percent of its players are in China, the drop-off isn’t surprising, either.
