I reviewed Black Myth: Wukong on PC, and that version also had a gigantic file size. In fact, those that plan on playing Black Myth: Wukong on PC can expect to set aside a staggering 128.68 GB.

Black Myth: Wukong isn't an open world game, but it does feature intensive graphics, with high-quality character models, animations, and environments. And while it's not an open world, it is still quite large.

There is quite a lot of side content for Black Myth: Wukong fans to sink their teeth into come the game's August 20 launch.

Whenever Black Myth: Wukong's Xbox version releases, fans on that platform can expect the game to boast a similar file size to its PS5 counterpart, though there have been times when the PS5 and Xbox versions of the same game have had different file sizes. It may be some time before fans learn how much space Black Myth: Wukong will take up on Xbox, as that version of the game is currently without a release date. PC and PS5 gamers will be able to play Black Myth: Wukong starting August 20, though users on both platforms need to make sure that their hardware is ready.
