On Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com, from 8 pm on August 19 to 12 am on August 20, sales of game controllers saw a sevenfold increase year-on-year, game devices jumped fivefold and the sales of gaming graphics cards increased by 250 percent year-on-year.《黑神话：悟空》还带动了游戏设备的销售。在中国电商平台京东上，从8月19日晚8点至8月20日凌晨12点，游戏手柄的销量同比增长了7倍， 游戏设备销量增长了5倍，游戏显卡的销量同比增长了250%。 Black Myth: Wukong features 36 filming locations across the country, with 27 located in North China's Shanxi Province.

"The game's initial development investment is high, while its ongoing operational cost is low, resulting in a high profit margin in the end," she said.刘梦飞指出，《黑神话：悟空》的成本结构简单。“该游戏的初期开发投资较高，但持续运营成本较低， 因此最终利润空间较大，”她说。 On the other hand, as a work that exists continuously, gamers who have played the game will often wish to visit game scenes in the real world. Therefore, the business model of using intellectual property to bridge the online and offline worlds is worth paying attention to, said Liu Mengfei.另一方面，作为一款持续存在的作品，玩过该游戏的玩家往往希望参观游戏中的现实世界场景。因此，利用知识产权将线上和线下世界连接起来的商业模式值得关注，刘梦飞表示。
