What are the PC system requirements of Black Myth Wukong?

Surprisingly enough, the minimum requirements for Black Myth Wukong are quite low, even for a cross-generation title, let alone an Unreal Engine 5 current-gen game with support for ray-tracing. The minimum GPU requirement is an Nvidia GTX 1060 or AMD RX 580 equivalent, which is quite low for a modern current-gen release.

Additionally, Black Myth Wukong seems to be quite optimized on the CPU side of things, with the recommendation being a Ryzen 5 5500 for 60fps at High settings, albeit without ray-tracing.

That being said, here's a look at the system requirements for Black Myth Wukong:

What is the file size of Black Myth Wukong?

While the system requirements don't seem that taxing, especially if you don't wish to use ray-tracing features, it seems Black Myth Wukong leans on the heavier side in terms of file size, with the game requiring 130 GB of storage space.

Surprisingly enough, Black Myth Wukong does have support for traditional HDDs, which is quite rare for Unreal Engine 5 games.

However, it should be noted that developer Game Science recommends installing the game on an SSD, which is understandable for a current-gen exclusive title, especially one that's making use of all the UE5 bells and whistles.
