In addition to the Black Myth: Wukong update notes, developers identified an issue where setting the system language to Turkish on PS5 causes the game to crash on launch. Similarly, on the PC version, setting the Windows system language to Turkish can occasionally cause crashes during certain boss fights.
If you run into this issue, the current workaround is to change the console language to English or another language from the PS5 main menu: Settings > System > Language > Console Language.
For the PC version, please change the Windows display language to English or another language from your operating system settings: Settings > Time and Language > Language and Region > Windows display language.
