The votes have been cast and counted, and the winner declared: Black Myth: Wukong is the winner of Ultimate Game of the Year at tꦰhe G꧋olden Joystick Awards 2024.

After an astonishing launch that saw 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Myth: Wukong smash concurrent player records on its way to becoming the secon𒁏d highest-played game on Steam ever with more than 2 million players (beating the already astonishing peak set by Palworld earlier in the year, but behind the world-beating cap set by PUBG). Now, it's capped off that result by claiming the top prize at the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Golden Joystick Awards 2024, as voted for by you, the players.

It's an incredible achievement however you look at it, but it's one that's made all the more impressive given its developers' history.

Couple that with the quality that Black Myth: Wukong was up against in this leading category and its other win tonig💮ht for the Best Visual Design, and the studio has clearly burst onto the scene in a massive way.
