As we would expect in our current climate, Black Myth: Wukong is getting a significant update just over a week after its record-breaking launch.

Good news if you found it a bit too buggy, or if you were struggling with the difficulty.

So, what's going to change with the update? Will it be a huge overhaul like that of Cyberpunk 2077, or just one or two fixes and nerfs?

Let's take a look at the Black Myth: Wukong patch notes, and see what's changed in the update.

What changes in the Black Myth: Wukong update?

We'll start by saying that while the patch is only 1.6GB, you'll need to reserve 80GB of free disk space for temporary storage of the files.

But what's changed with the update? Anything noticeable? The main purpose of the patch is to iron out crashes and technical faults.

A quick glance at the patch notes tells us that the Destined One had a tendency to get stuck performing certain moves, and the update aims to fix that.

And with regards to nerfing enemies, the stats of the Yaoguai King 'Captain Wise-Voice' boss have been reduced.

Until then, they have said to use the following temporary workaround:

  • Change the console language to English or another language via the PS5 main menu: Settings > System > Language > Console Language.
  • For the PC version, please change the Windows display language to English or another language via the operating system settings: Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Windows display language.
