Black Myth Wukong was launched on a smartphone, resulting in a rather dreadful gaming experience

Black Myth Wukong turned out to be quite a demanding game. Still, some wanted to take the risk and try the game on a smartphone.

The recent Black Myth Wukong can challenge even high-performance systems. Players on both PC and PlayStation 5 occasionally encounter some “hiccups”.

One enthusiast was curious to see what would happen if they tried playing such a “heavyweight” title on a smartphone. It turned out to be quite feasible, but the gaming experience in Black Myth Wukong in this case leaves much to be desired.

A Bilibili user used an Android smartphone and an emulator, the name of which was not specified, for their experiment. The launch was carried out on an Adreno 750, the GPU of the Snapdragon 8Gen3 (third generation)—significant framerate drops can be observed, which will definitely cause trouble during battles with both bosses and regular enemies.

Nevertheless, playing Black Myth Wukong in a handheld format is still entirely possible thanks to the Steam Deck. However, one should be prepared to tinker with the settings: https://youtu.be/N4Onv8nzEXA
