Download size

Black Myth Wukong officially clocks in at 104.394 GB, which will give cold sweats to anyone without a sizeable storage drive.

Of course, this isn't too out of the ordinary when it comes to new AAA titles in 2024, but it's still quite the challenge to accommodate anyone still rocking the drive that came with their console.

You might have to delete a few games or shuffle around some capture, or even go out of your way to pick up a new hard drive. Make sure that it's a capable NVMe SSD though on both console and PC, as you won't want to miss out on the best performance possible.

This guide is a work in progress and will be continuously updated as we learn more about the game.
