Game Science has officially announced that Black Myth: Wukong will receive a new update beginning on October 13, 2025, bringing performance improvements and general bug fixes across all supported platforms. The update aims to refine the game’s stability and optimization following ongoing feedback from players. However, due to substantial underlying changes, the developer has issued a few important notices for users ahead of installation.
Players using mods are advised to uninstall them and verify their game files before restarting, as installed modifications could trigger compatibility issues or prevent the game from launching altogether. On PlayStation 5, the patch will require approximately 93.5 GB of storage space, owing to differences in file management and compression systems. If players experience issues updating, they may continue playing the current version or reinstall the game to complete the patch process.
