Game Science has released the April Update, also known as Patch 1.0.16.18901, for Black Myth: Wukong. This patch came out on Epic Games Store a couple of days ago. Sadly, though, the Steam version has not received it yet (and there is no ETA for when it will come out).
The April Patch adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Intel XeSS 2.0. This means that NVIDIA and Intel owners will be able to take advantage of the latest versions of DLSS and XeSS.
Since I own the Steam version, I have not been able to test the patch. From what I’ve seen, though, there is only in-game setting for Multi-Frame Gen. This means that you might still have to use the NVIDIA App to enable the Transformer Model for DLSS 4 Super Resolution.
Intel owners should also feel great with the inclusion of Intel XeSS 2.0. Black Myth: Wukong is one of the first games to support XeSS 2.0. This means that Intel owners can enable the new Frame Gen feature of XeSS 2.0. Sadly, I don’t own an Intel GPU. So, I can’t comment on the performance and the quality of XeSS 2.0 Frame Gen. After all, XeSS 2.0 is exclusive to the Intel Arc GPUs.
From what I know, the game does not support AMD FSR 4.0. Thus, it will be interesting to see when – and if – Game Science will add support for it. Will we have to wait for official support? Or will AMD test and greenlight the game so that you can enable FSR 4.0 via its driver?
Anyway, right now, Epic Games Store will download this update the next time you launch its client. As for the Steam version, we don’t know when we’ll get it. As soon as the patch comes out on Steam, I’ll be sure to test DLSS 4 MFG on the NVIDIA RTX 5090, and share an 8K video. Until then, here is a video from NVIDIA, showcasing the game running on an NVIDIA RTX 5090.
Finally, you can find below its complete changelog.
Stay tuned for more!
