A Chinese-made game backed by Tencent Holdings Ltd has become the fourth most-played title on Steam within hours of its launch, an unusually rapid ascent that may help seal its place in industry lore.
Black Myth: Wukong, an action-adventure title based on the antics of the fabled Monkey King, garnered more than 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam shortly after its global debut Tuesday.
