Black Myth: Wukong's PS5 Physical Edition Is Coming 'Very Soon'

Potentially today

Black Myth: Wukong surprised many earlier this year when it impressed players, selling an astonishing 20 million copies and all but ensuring a sequel from developer Game Science. If you didn't pick it up, or you fancy a double-dip, word on the street is that PS5 physical editions are extremely imminent, potentially available as soon as today.

The developer announced on X that the fully mastered disc is complete and that a physical PS5 edition will soon be available. Going several steps further, the ever-reliable insider, billbil-kun, says that physical copies will be available from 21st October (today) in the U.S. for $64.99 and will be available in Europe soon after.

In fairly dramatic scenes, Black Myth was the source of some controversy, with conflicting reports suggesting that Sony did or did not sign some sort of exclusivity deal to keep the game on PlayStation. We still don't know the whole story, but Microsoft did since say the game's indefinite delay on Xbox has nothing to do with technical limitations; the entire situation is strange.

Are pushsquare going to mention the supposed exclusivity deal every time there is a wukong article? There is no proof this was ever a thing so please stop mentioning it as its just getting a bit tiresome now (this is constructive criticism.) On a plus note this is good news for the physical collectors out there even though the tinternet will have us believe we are a dying breed. Its a top notch game (not really a souls like) and looks and plays amazingly well. Initial reviews had it pegged as a "boss rush" game but that couldn't be further from the truth as its incredibly deep. The story and cast are bonkers but it's such an awesome experience and I'm glad that the non adopters of digital will finally get a chance to appreciate this Stirling first effort from gamescience. I can't wait to see what they produce next.

@awp69 sweet. I'm glad that xbox owners will get to play this as well. Let's see how the series s handles it as I have a feeling that was the problem leading to the delay in launching on the xbox platforms.

@Northern_munkey it will handle it fine. Assuming the developers struck a good balance of how to reduce the graphical fidelity. They launched this game on PC so they know how this works. Same for all developers really. It’s just a matter of time and desire really. If it was PS that was so far behind and series consoles were ahead it would be a different story this generation.

@Vaako007 The game is still pretty rough on PS5 with many visual problems and performance issues so i will be shocked if it runs well and looks good on Series S.

Also they don't know how it works as this is the first console game they have made and it shows giving the many WTF choices they made for the PS5 version. Even DF were very puzzled with the choices made and none of the issues raised have been fixed.

Glad I waited. Not ready for a digital only future just yet. And probably good timing too, since the pro will show up next month.

So if it’s €69.99… I’m guessing it’ll be £59.99 in Blighty?

Not planning on playing it till they either bring a Pro patch for it or just simply fix it for the base PS5. Shame too, as I really wanted to play this game.

Surprised they are bothering with physical with the article at the weekend about the % of digital to physical sales.
It’s hardly worth the manufacturing set up and costs nowadays.
