Black Myth Wukong: Best mods & how to install them

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt and a hard drive filled with countless modded games, I can confidently say that Black Myth Wukong has become one of the most exciting additions to my Steam library. The game’s initial release was like opening a treasure chest packed with visually stunning graphics and immersive gameplay. However, like any new game, it wasn’t without its hiccups, and I found myself grappling with performance issues.


On its debut day, Black Myth Wukong shattered all previous records and rapidly emerged as one of the most widely played games on Steam. Despite being newly released, an active modding community has already developed several performance-enhancing mods for the game; here are some excellent options to consider.

Black Myth Wukong SPF Mod

Black Myth Wukong debuted in a well-refined form, running smoothly on many devices. Yet, some users have encountered crashes, lagging, and other problems – a common occurrence with new releases. Fortunately, the BMWK – SPF mod developed by xowny addresses these issues, boosting performance and eliminating stutter without significantly compromising visual quality.

Once you’ve downloaded and unzipped the files, transfer them to the “mods” folder located within the “b1\Content\Paks” directory in your game installation. To locate the game files on Steam, click on ‘Black Myth Wukong’, then select ‘Manage’ followed by ‘Browse local files’. Navigate to “b1\Content\Paks“. If there are no mods installed yet, establish a new folder and call it “mods” (as shown in the image above). Lastly, move the “pakchunk99-Mods_CustomMod_P.pak” file from the BMWK – SPF mod folder into your newly created “mods” folder.

High CPU Priority Mod

As a gaming enthusiast, here’s a tip to boost your gameplay experience: You can enhance performance by setting the game’s priority to high in the registry editor. Fortunately, there’s a handy modification available for this purpose. Grab the Anti-Stutter – High CPU Priority mod from NexusMods. Once downloaded, run the Install BMW High CPU Priority.reg file to prioritize your CPU high for Black Myth Wukong. If you encounter any problems later on, simply run the Uninstall BMW High CPU Priority.reg from the same download folder to revert the changes.

Enhanced Wukong Visuals Mod

Being a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that enhancing the visual quality of games is one of the most satisfying modifications to make. As someone who spends countless hours in virtual worlds, the difference between a blurry, lackluster environment and a sharp, vibrant one can significantly impact the overall gaming experience.

Downgraded Wukong Visuals Mod

As a gamer myself, I can share that while the Enhanced Wukong Visuals upgrades the game’s graphics, there’s an option called Downgraded Wukong Visuals Mod developed by FrancisLouis. This mod is designed to boost the game’s performance, claiming it can run at nearly 50 frames per second more than the standard version. Installing this mod follows a similar process as before, but what sets it apart are the three different presets you can select based on your personal preference.

  • Slightly: Gives a frame boost (around 8 FPS) by changing shadows, render distance, and LODs.
  • Considerably: Tweaks the parameters mentioned above to a higher extent and gives around 12 extra FPS.
  • Significantly: This preset is for players with a low-end PC and can give you around 50 FPS boost by downgrading the graphics significantly.

I came across the “Simple Realistic” mod by Chris Rubino which seemed to me as an outstanding visual enhancement for Black Myth Wukong. This shader boosts the game’s lighting, details, vibrancy, and post-processing effects significantly. Remember that this mod is primarily designed to improve graphics rather than performance. To install, extract the downloaded files into the b1\Binaries\Win64\ folder (where the b1-Win64-Shipping.exe resides). Once installed, play the game and press the Del key to activate or deactivate the shader. Additionally, pressing End will open the Reshade UI where you can customize color saturation, light intensity, and darkness according to your preferences.
