Word on the street is that Black Myth: Wukong is gonna be a big game. People are already excited for Game Science’s action RPG ahead of its launch in just a week’s time. People are also a little nervous that the high-end graphics are going to reduce their gaming rigs to a molten, steaming pile of ex-components.

In truth, it probably won’t be that bad, but if you want a sneak peek of exactly how your system will cope the devs have released a Wuking benchmarking tool that you can grab on Steam and put your rig through its paces ahead of time. If you are hovering over the purchase button for technical fears, this near 8GB download should be the perfect indicator of what to expect when you boot the actual game up.

Benchmarking your setup will also feed back system information to the devs who are busy hoovering up data ahead of any required performance patching that may need to be done.

In a post on X they said, “Prepare yourself. It’s almost time to start your adventure.
The “Black Myth: Wukong Benchmark Tool” is now available for free download on Steam. This tool allows you to preliminarily check your PC’s hardware performance and system compatibility when running the game.

You can customize benchmark settings to preview game visuals and performance under different graphics options.

This tool is a PC benchmarking application specifically developed for “Black Myth: Wukong”. It is separate from the game itself and is non-playable.

Your benchmark results can assist the development team in better identifying potential software and hardware compatibility issues before the official game launch. This will facilitate the further assessment of potential performance risks and sporadic issues, ultimately enhancing the final release quality of “Black Myth: Wukong”.

You can give the benchmarking tool a go by installing it from its separate Steam page and you can check out its System Requirements ahead of time here also.
