Steam Deck & laptop compatibility
The game is playable on Steam Deck, achieving an estimated 43 frames per second at 1280x800 resolution when using reduced settings. While not at its highest graphical fidelity, the game should still offer a good experience on the portable system. Players can expect reasonable performance for a handheld device.
For 60 frames per second at 1080p, a laptop should ideally be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Laptop GPU. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 Laptop GPU provides a playable experience, though frame rates may hover around 30 frames per second. Given that laptop GPUs typically run slower than their desktop counterparts, matching the desktop recommended NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD RX 5700 XT will necessitate a capable mobile graphics card.
Black Myth: Wukong is a demanding Unreal Engine 5 title that leans heavily on upscaling. The published minimum and recommended specs are measured with DLSS, FSR or XeSS enabled, so native-resolution performance is noticeably lower than the listed tiers suggest. A GTX 1060 6GB or RX 580 8GB is the floor, and 16GB of RAM is required even at minimum.
The recommended RTX 2060 or RX 5700 XT with 16GB of RAM targets around 60fps at 1080p with upscaling on medium settings. Full ray tracing is very heavy and needs much stronger hardware. An SSD is recommended for the roughly 130GB install to reduce traversal stutter. Players aiming for high native frame rates should expect to enable an upscaler and budget for a current-generation GPU.
