Black Myth: Wukong has a Staggering 81 Achievements on Xbox

Alright, achievement hunters and Soulslike fiends, listen up! The day we’ve been waiting for is finally here. After what felt like an eternity of PlayStation exclusivity, Black Myth: Wukong is smashing its way onto Xbox on August 20th. And let me tell you, it’s bringing a metric ton of Gamerscore with it. If you’re the type of player who lives for that satisfying cheevo pop, you’re in for a wild ride.

The game is dropping with a whopping 81 achievements, and it’s time to figure out how to snag every last one of them. So, grab your Ruyi Jingu Bang, because we’re about to dissect this beast of a list.

Black Myth: Wukong’s Massive Achievement List

So, you’re looking at the list of 81 achievements and thinking, “Wait, didn’t the PS5 version have, like, half that?” You’d be right. The PlayStation 5 version launched with a mere 36 trophies. Did Game Science decide to torture Xbox players with twice the work?

Not exactly. Put down the pitchforks. It turns out the Xbox and Steam achievement lists are just structured differently. On the PS5, several smaller tasks were bundled into single, chunkier trophies. For example, the Xbox achievement “With Full Spirit” requires you to collect all 54 spirits by defeating their minor bosses. On PlayStation, this task was merged with another one to form a single trophy.

Honestly, I prefer the Xbox approach. Getting rewarded for each milestone, even if it’s just 5 Gamerscore, feels way more satisfying than slogging through a dozen tasks just for one trophy to pop. It’s the little dopamine hits that keep us going, right?

The Grind for 81 Achievements: What to Expect

Let’s be real: hunting down all 81 achievements won’t be a walk in the park. This is a Soulslike, after all. Expect to die—a lot. But hey, that’s part of the fun!

The completion time is estimated to be around 50-60 hours, but that’s just for one run. With a significant number of missable achievements, you’ll need at least two playthroughs to get that coveted 100%. Thankfully, there’s a New Game+ mode to make that second journey a bit more interesting.

Now, let’s get to the good stuff. Below is the complete list of all 81 achievements you can unlock in Black Myth: Wukong. A good chunk of them is secret, and their descriptions are about as clear as mud. Seriously, they’re riddles. We love a developer with a flair for the dramatic.
