- Microsoft has once again alluded to PlayStation exclusivity for Black Myth: Wukong.
- A spokesperson also says that Microsoft is unaware of hardware issues preventing the title from arriving on Xbox.
- The situation now demands an official response from PlayStation or Game Science.
Black Myth: Wukong has now become a huge part of gaming in 2024. Unfortunately, the joys of this action RPG are currently limited to those on the PC and PlayStation platforms.
After an initial delay on Xbox, it was hinted that Game Science signed an exclusivity agreement with PlayStation. While the studio has yet to confirm such an agreement, recent reports provided further evidence that a deal was indeed signed.
Xbox has returned with another interesting statement, adding to the confusion surrounding this situation.
Why it matters: Many have blamed the Xbox Series S for the delay. This console has also received criticism from other developers in the past.

Replying to Forbes’ Paul Tassi, a Microsoft spokesperson, has made a similar comment as past responses on Game Science’s latest release. However, the latest comment also discusses Xbox hardware, seemingly dispelling reports that the Xbox Series S caused the delay.
The delay is not due to Xbox platform limitations that have been raised to us.

What’s interesting here is that recent reports pointed to a memory leak problem with Black Myth: Wukong. On the other hand, analysts concluded that nothing inherent about the Xbox Series S|X should be a problem for Game Science.
As such, Microsoft’s statement seems to have merit. However, the statement could also mean that the studio has yet to seek help, even if it has encountered major optimization hurdles.

Like before, the spokesperson stated that Microsoft is unable to comment on exclusivity deals from rival platforms.
The Black Myth: Wukong situation is becoming more interesting by the day. At this rate, a comment from PlayStation or Game Science is inevitable since nobody else can offer a definitive statement.
