On October 13, 2025, Game Science released a significant update for Black Myth: Wukong. This update, version 1.0.20.21756, aims to address various performance issues and bugs, while also enhancing the overall gaming experience.

Update File Size

The update is notably large, particularly for PS5 users. The patch requires approximately 93.5 GB of storage space on PS5. This size is due to differences in file storage methods and the extensive nature of the underlying changes. Players are advised to ensure they have sufficient storage space before downloading the update. If space is an issue, Game Science recommends uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it after the update.

Performance Improvements

The update brings several performance enhancements:

• PS5 Performance Mode: Adjusted back to 60Hz, reducing input latency and achieving higher resolution. The original Performance Mode is retained and renamed "Performance Mode (Legacy)".
• PC Performance: Improved CPU and rendering performance in numerous scenarios, as well as memory usage. The update also integrates AMD FSR4, which will be available in the in-game settings on compatible hardware after updating the driver and enabling FSR4 in the driver settings.
• Motion Blur Quality: Improved to mitigate aliasing issues when the camera pans.
• Loading Speed: Improved game loading speed on PS5.

Bug Fixes

The update addresses several bugs and issues:

• Boss Fights: Fixes issues with Yaoguai Chief "Top Takes Bottom & Bottom Takes Top" becoming undefeatable and iron ball display problems.
• Visual Issues: Fixes screen ghosting and edge flickering on PS5. Also corrects multiple rendering errors in NXSR that caused ghosting and edge flickering, improving NXSR's rendering quality.
• Crash Fixes: Resolves an issue where the game might crash on launch when both DLSS 4 frame generation and ray tracing were enabled.

Localization and Other Improvements

• Localization: The update adds language support for Czech and corrects various translation errors, improving subtitle and voiceover accuracy.
• Interface Improvements: Enhances the readability of the "Cleared" label in the "Load Journey" interface and improves the Journeyer's Chart interface.

Important Notes for Players

• Mod Compatibility: Players using mods are advised to uninstall them and verify their game files before restarting the game, as installed mods may cause compatibility issues or prevent the game from launching.
• Gradual Rollout: The update will be gradually released across all platforms starting October 13.

In summary, the October 2025 update for Black Myth: Wukong is a substantial patch that addresses performance issues, fixes bugs, and enhances the overall gaming experience. Players, especially those on PS5, should ensure they have adequate storage space and consider uninstalling mods before applying the update.
