Weekly Steam Chart: Role-Playing Action Game Black Myth: Wukong and First-Person Shooter Game Bodycam Break into the Top 5

According to SteamDB, for the week of June 4 to 11, Black Myth: Wukong dominated the revenue generation rankings on Steam, surpassing previous leader Steam Deck, which dropped to third.

Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG inspired by the classic ‘Journey to the West’, developed by the Chinese studio Game Science, took the top spot in both the paid and overall charts. The game made its first chart appearance after pre-orders were launched during the Summer Game Fest 2024, which also premiered a new trailer for the game (YouTube). Release is set for August 20 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) and PlayStation 5, with the Xbox Series X and S versions indefinitely delayed due to optimization issues.
