Voters have spoken: Black Myth: Wukong was chosen as Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2024.

The title’s launch exploded onto Steam, registering over 2 million concurrent players and becoming the platform’s second-most-played game ever.

That peak outpaced Palworld’s earlier high this year, although PUBG’s all-time record remains unbroken.

The top prize was decided by player votes, a clear sign of the community’s support for the game.

The achievement is especially striking given developer Game Science’s background — before this release the Chinese studio had only developed two mobile games.

Black Myth: Wukong also won Best Visual Design at the ceremony, adding a stylistic accolade to its commercial success.

Between record-breaking player numbers and multiple awards, Game Science has firmly announced itself as a major new force in the console and PC market.

Black Myth: Wukong took home Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards 2024.

Nominees for the Ultimate Game prize included:

• Astro Bot
  
• Animal Well
  
• Balatro
  
• Black Myth: Wukong (winner)
  
• Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
  
• Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth
  
• Helldivers 2
  
• Metaphor: ReFantazio
  
• Satisfactory
  
• Silent Hill 2
  
• Tekken 8
  

Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth was one of the biggest winners overall, converting four of its seven nominations into awards.
