Black Myth: Wukong fans concerned about PC version\u2019s potential performance issue Game ScienceThe PC version of Black Myth: Wukong features a Benchmark Tool that uses Denuvo, leading to concerns about the game\u2019s performance. Anticipation for Black Myth: Wukong began building as soon as Chinese developer Game Science revealed the first trailer in August 2020. All these years later, the title is gearing up for its debut on PC and consoles, but some hopeful players have started expressing reservations. Steam listings previously confirmed the action RPG would launch with anti-piracy software Denuvo attached. Now that the game\u2019s official Benchmark Tool has become available on PC, fans noticed that it, too, makes use of Denuvo. This has raised concerns about Black Myth: Wukong\u2019s potential performance troubles due to claims suggesting the divisive DRM technology hinders performance. Responses beneath a post from Pirat_Nation about the DRM tool indicate many players believe Denuvo could hurt Black Myth: Wukong\u2019s chances of running smoothly. Reads one reply, \u201cI mean, if Denuvo decreases its performance in the real game, it [has] to decrease [it] in the benchmark too.\u201d Another user commented the following, \u201cIt makes sense tho. If the benchmark doesn\u2019t have Denuvo, it would perform much better than the game that has it.\u201d The suggestion that Denuvo directly impacts a game\u2019s framerate remains speculative on a game-by-game basis. However, parent company Irdeto insists the system has \u201cno perceptible effect on game performance nor is anti-tamper to blame for any game crashes of genuine executables.\u201d In the past, DRM versus DRM-less tests run on experiences such as Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil Village have shown Denuvo marginally impacts performance. But at the time of writing, there is no concrete answer on how Denuvo will affect Black Myth: Wukong on PC. Game Science\u2019s long-awaited role-playing title hits PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, August 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
