- New information on Black Myth: Wukong reveals the game might not be coming to Xbox anytime soon.
- When asked about the action RPG, Xbox failed to provide an update.
- The game is also poorly optimized for the PS5, suggesting that the Xbox Series S will be an even bigger issue.
There is bad news for players hoping to get their hands on Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox. A new report suggests that the port isn’t releasing any time soon.
Why it matters: It was previously claimed that Black Myth: Wukong’s delay on Xbox was caused due to a deal with PlayStation. This does not seem to be the case, but Xbox has kept its fans in the dark in regards to the situation.
According to a post by Forbes, when Microsoft was asked about the reason for the delay, a spokesperson sent the same statement that had come out a few months ago. This implies that Xbox itself does not have much to share.
The gaming giant also pointed to a potential exclusivity deal, but Game Science previously confirmed no exclusivity agreement is in place. The main problem here appears to be the Xbox Series S.
What’s also interesting is the PS5 version of Black Myth: Wukong. Digital Foundry recently commented on the port and confirmed it has various problems. It makes sense, then, that the studio would find it troublesome to work with the Xbox Series S.
Another analysis also confirmed that the PS5 version drops as low as 720p to achieve 60FPS. This is typically the resolution the Xbox Series S runs at, so a further drop might be needed. However, that would lead to a subpar experience.
With Black Myth: Wukong becoming as big as it is, this is a huge missed opportunity for Xbox. The gaming giant’s budget-friendly console would have benefited from this popularity since the PS5 is said to have gone through a major sales surge in China.
At this point, it seems Game Science will need more time to work on the Xbox Series S|X ports.
Hopefully, the team will have more to share soon, but this seems unlikely given the current problems of the PS5 version and the fact that the Xbox Series S would further exacerbate these issues.
