Black Myth: Wukong has landed to absolutely massive success, to the point where it's now the second-biggest Steam game ever when measured by concurrent player count. Analysts suggest much of that success is coming from China, and some developers reckon this could be the start of a sea change for the Chinese gaming industry.

Simon Carless of analysis group GameDiscoverCo says on Twitter that the agency's estimates suggest 88.1% of Black Myth: Wukong owners on Steam are from China. You can back that up by taking a look at the language split of Steam reviews over on Steam Scout, which are currently 90.92% Chinese. It's still early hours for the Wukong's launch, but the game's week-old benchmark tool also features 85.38% Chinese reviews according to Steam Scout.
