Is there a preload for Black Myth Wukong?
At the time of writing, there is no available preload for Black Myth Wukong, and it has not been confirmed whether or not there will be one before the game launches. That being said, it’s fairly rare these days for a game as popular as Black Myth Wukong to not have any kind of preload before the release date, so we expect that it’s only a matter of time before the preload becomes available.
For games like this, it’s not uncommon for preloads to become available between 72 and 48 hours before the full release time, so we would expect that Black Myth Wukong will see preloads come around in a similar time frame. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as we know more about the preload, so be sure to check back regularly to see if there’s any more news about it.
As for how much space you’ll need to download it, while we don’t know the final figure for PlayStation 5 players, we do know it for PC. Steam users will need a hefty 130GB of free storage to download the game, and we would expect the amount for PS5 users to be in the same ballpark.
