Black Myth: Wukong – a new benchmarking tool will show you if the game will melt your PC before you buy it

Word on the street is that Black Myth: Wukong is gonna be a big game. People are already excited for Game Science’s action RPG ahead of its launch in just a week’s time. People are also a little nervous that the high-end graphics are going to reduce their gaming rigs to a molten, steaming pile of ex-components.

In truth, it probably won’t be that bad, but if you want a sneak peek of exactly how your system will cope the devs have released a Wuking benchmarking tool that you can grab on Steam and put your rig through its paces ahead of time. If you are hovering over the purchase button for technical fears, this near 8GB download should be the perfect indicator of what to expect when you boot the actual game up.

Benchmarking your setup will also feed back system information to the devs who are busy hoovering up data ahead of any required performance patching that may need to be done.
