Black Myth Wukong, the Journey to the West inspired title by Game Science has been a massive success. The game took to the gaming industry by storm, raking in almost unbelievable and record-breaking player numbers on Steam.

The game is available for PlayStation 5 and PC and have recorded millions of players playing the action title. But it turns out that someone has managed to get the game running on a mobile phone, without the official support.

Black Myth Wukong Is Running on a Smartphone

Black Myth Wukong has been an absolute treat for the players, breaking multiple records and selling over ten million copies in just three days. The game left behind games like Cyberpunk 2077, DOTA 2, PUBG, and Elden Ring.

The game soon topped the Steam charts. The game is highly-popular and in-demand, and some not being able to play it were seemingly unhappy and they have figured out a way.

A modder in China has managed to run the game on an Android mobile phone, as per the original video posted on China’s popular social media platform, Bilibili. The modder got the game running on a phone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 paired with an Adreno 750 GPU.

The game does not run well on the mobile phone would be an understatement as it achieves a terrible framerate, not exceeding 13-14 FPS, sometime going up to 19-20 FPS but lags the whole time. Also, the graphics is terrible with fuzzy and blurry images.

The game is very graphically demanding and this has somewhat deteriorated the performance on the mobile phone. The game doesn’t look good or even runs smoothly but it is still quite nice for an Android to be able to run a triple-A title.

The framerate drops when the player is running and it will probably drop further during the combat. The GPU utilization is at 85-86 percent with the clock speed at 1,000MHz and temperature of the device is at 36.6 C but the CPU is at 76 degrees.

Fans are now mocking Xbox after seeing this as the game is still not available on the platform as it allegedly has had some issues in optimization. One player said that the game is everywhere except on Xbox. Although Black Myth Wukong will eventually come to Xbox, it’ll still be a while.

After breaking records and obliterating Steam charts, the game has set another benchmark by running on an Android which may not achieved by any game easily. If this tells anything, it is that the game has created a massive fan base.
