Black Myth Wukong has been a conversation-starter since its earliest gameplay footage was shown, and the mythology-inspired action-RPG has kept a pretty high price since it debuted.
Now, thanks to PlayStation Black Friday sales, it’s dropped to its lowest price at Amazon with a 22% discount from the MSRP, bringing the game down to just over $50. It’s not a huge discount, admittedly, but if you’ve been waiting for a chance to put yourself in Heroic Monkey’s shoes, then now’s the time.

Black Myth Wukong Hits Lowest-Ever Price
Thanks to this discount, Black Myth Wukong on PS5 is now $50.55, down from its $64.99 MSRP.
The game is inspired by ancient Chinese mythology, and sees Heroic Monkey taking the fight to bosses and beasts alike in a pseudo-retelling of the Journey to the West story, only with a lot more combat. Thankfully, the combat is the best part, so you won’t see us complaining.
If you have held out, then now really is a great time because developer Game Science dropped a massive patch for the game last month.
It promises improved performance, like faster loading speeds, better texture clarity, and improved CPU and rendering performance, making a great game even better.
That’s particularly important because, in IGN’s review, Mitchell Saltzman noted the game’s bugs.
“Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world,” he concluded.
The game is getting a sequel, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, as revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live this year, but rumors continue to swirl about Wukong getting some kind of DLC. The game launched on Xbox platforms earlier this year.
