The game is based on Chinese mythology and it is one of the highest-wishlisted games of the year 2024 and the #1 seller of 2024 in the USA region.
Black Myth Wukong is a pretty demanding game. Mostly the black screen issue occurs because your system does not meet the minimum requirement of the game.

Check the above table and compare the specs with your PC or laptop, if your system meets the minimum requirements, then this is a glitch and there are a few workarounds that you can try.
Restart The Game
I know this is a generic solution but sometimes even a generic solution works, if the game is not closing, use task manager to kill the process and then restart the game.
Try the -dx11′ trick
Right-click on Black Myth Wukong in your Steam library. Go to properties, then head to the general section, and then on the launch options, type -dx11, now close it and try opening the game and see if the black screen issue shows up.
Run Steam as an Administrator
A lot of players who complained about this issue managed to fix it by running the steam as an administrator. However, this solution didn’t help everyone. If this didn’t help you either on to the next one then.
Verify The Files
Open Steam on your PC or laptop. Right-click on Black Myth Wukong in your Steam library go to Properties then go to Local Files and click on Verify integrity of game files.
Wait for the process to complete and then relaunch the game to check if the issue is resolved or not.
Final Words
Try all the solutions I listed above, these are workarounds, they do not guarantee a fix. If these does not help you then you will need to wait for the developers to reach a patch.
There will always be launch day issues, so you need to report the issues to the developers so that they can acknowledge the issue and release a patch.
