June 22, 2026. Game Science's action epic Black Myth: Wukong has reportedly crossed 30 million copies sold - a staggering pace that, if accurate, outruns even Elden Ring. One important caveat up front: this figure did not come from Game Science itself.
Where the 30 million number actually comes from
The milestone surfaced not via an official Game Science press release, but through a document published by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, spotted and reported by gaming outlets on June 17, 2026. As WCCFtech put it:
"According to a document published recently by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China (CYL), Game Science's Black Myth: Wukong has now surpassed 30 million units sold."
It was corroborated by VGChartz and others. Game Science has not issued its own standalone announcement confirming 30 million as of this writing, so treat the exact number as reported rather than officially confirmed. For context, the studio did officially confirm 10 million sales in the first three days after the August 20, 2024 launch, and 20 million within the first month.
Faster than Elden Ring?
The comparison checks out on the timeline. Elden Ring's publisher officially announced its own 30 million milestone on April 28, 2025 - roughly three years after its February 2022 launch. Wukong reportedly reached the same mark in under two years. Around half of its sales are said to have come from outside China, which is notable for a title that launched PC-first (Steam, Epic, WeGame) and on PS5, with the Xbox Series version following a year later in 2025.
