Don’t get too excited, it’s not the actual game. Though as far as benchmarking tools go, it’s a good’un.
Black Myth: Wukong has swiftly risen up to become the most wishlisted game on Steam. Though it doesn’t come out for one whole week. Ugh. Thankfully we can spend our time wisely in preparation for the big day—by repeatedly running the game’s new benchmarking tool to nail our settings just right.
The new benchmarking tool is listed over on Steam for download. It’s free, of course, and doesn’t require you to have pre-ordered the game. It’s actually popular in its own right, as since its release mere hours ago it’s become the 18th most played ‘game’ on Steam, with over 60,000 players at its peak.
This is the sort of hunger for benchmarking that we relish here on the PC Gamer hardware team. Hey, if you love benchmarking so much, why don’t you come work here. That’s not a joke.
I’ve been playing around with the benchmarking tool this morning, and in most respects it appears a pretty darn good one.
