However, these results are mostly for scenes outside of combat. During combat, the game does lose some frames. The average FPS goes down from 57 to 40 to 40-30 FPS. This drop can affect the flow of the gameplay because Black Myth's combat is extremely fast and demands precise player inputs.

The best way to guarantee constant performance on Steam is to ensure the graphics settings are low. Turning off GPU-heavy settings like ray tracing could also benefit the game's performance. Lastly, turn on settings like Frame Generation and Super Resolution to ensure you get the optimal performance of Black Myth Wukong on Steam.
