Black Myth: Wukong is an extremely demanding game that requires heavy computing power. Even PS5 could not handle some of the graphical flaws that the game presented on the console.
Having said that, there is no doubt about the game coming to PS5 Pro, as that console might be what the game needs to unleash its maximum potential. However, the game is not currently in a bad state; it is just about what more we can expect from it.
Black Myth: Wukong’s Performance On PS5
The game has various modes to choose from, starting with a quality mode that runs the game at 4K in maximum resolution at 30FPS, then there is a balanced mode that offers up to 45FPS at 1080p, and finally, a performance mode that runs the game at 60FPS, but it is very jerky and beats its own purpose.
Black Myth: Wukong is currently the heaviest game on the market, requiring a lot of computing power, which is not being matched by the current generation of consoles. What the game needs is better upscaling and powerful GPUs.
However, there is a ray of light with the upcoming PS5 Pro. The console is packed with an extremely powerful GPU with Ray Tracing enabled along with AI-integrated resolution upscaling, which might enable the game to run smoother at higher settings.
The game is currently shaping up to be a perfect PS5 Pro game since the console meets the requirements needed for the game to run extremely well. However, this still does not justify the high price tag of $700 attached to the console. The console is currently priced too high for an average consumer to even think about buying it.
It is Not Worth Buying The PS5 Pro Just For Black Myth: Wukong
PS5 Pro’s announcement has also affected the price for the base model of the console in some areas. There has been a significant hike in its prices, resulting in a fall in sales.
People are not satisfied with the announcement of the latest console, as they claim it to be an unnecessary addition to the PS5 family. Fans urged Sony to focus on developing the next PS6 instead of a loosely powered pro version for PS5. Even though the pro version of the console is packed with a better GPU, including AI upscaling and Ray tracing, it is not worth the massive price hike.
What the future might have in store for PS5 users is a little uncertain at the moment. If you are someone who is enamored by the extreme graphical execution capabilities of a machine, then you can justify the price tag attached to the PS5 Pro. An average user might be happy with 30FPS in performance mode on the base variant. Do you want to upgrade to buy the latest PS5 Pro? Let us know in the comments below.
