Major Update for Black Myth: Wukong Requires Significant Storage Space on PS5

On October 13, 2025, Game Science released a substantial update for *Black Myth: Wukong*, requiring approximately 93.5 GB of free storage space for PlayStation 5 users. This update, version 1.0.20.21756, is notable not only for its size but also for the performance enhancements it brings to the game. The original game occupies around 130 GB, meaning players may need to delete and reinstall the game to accommodate the update, as the total storage requirement could exceed the available space on a standard PS5 console.

The patch also integrates AMD FSR4 support for PC users, enhancing graphics quality and stability. Notably, the performance mode on PS5 now runs at native 60Hz, reducing input latency and improving resolution.

Due to the large size of the update, players may encounter challenges during installation. Game Science recommends that players uninstall any existing mods on PC to avoid compatibility issues that could prevent the game from launching or cause errors during gameplay. If the update fails due to insufficient storage, players are advised to delete the game and redownload it to ensure a successful installation.

While the update aims to enhance the gaming experience, some players have expressed frustration over the substantial storage requirements. The necessity to delete and reinstall the game may inconvenience those with limited storage capacity. Critics argue that the update's size is disproportionate to the improvements made, as it does not introduce new content but rather reorganizes existing files.
