Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG based on Chinese mythology, dominated the gaming charts in August 2024, achieving top revenue rankings across six major markets, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. This success showcases the game’s strong debut performance across various platforms, including PC and consoles. While Black Myth: Wukong saw significant gains, other games like The First Descendant experienced revenue declines. Meanwhile, established titles like Fall Guys, Diablo 4, and World of Warcraft saw notable increases in player activity, with World of Warcraft experiencing its biggest monthly active user (MAU) increase of 2024. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga also saw a boost in engagement, driven by its inclusion in PlayStation Plus and a significant discount on the Nintendo Switch.
