Chinese developer Game Science announced that their highly anticipated action RPG Black Myth: Wukong will not launch on Xbox consoles simultaneously with other platforms. The game director cited significant optimization difficulties related to the Xbox Series S’s limited 10GB memory as the primary reason for the delay.
According to official statements from Game Science, the team encountered technical challenges in adapting the game’s demanding graphics and performance requirements to the Xbox Series S hardware. As a result, the Xbox version requires additional development time to ensure a smooth and stable experience.
The developer confirmed that Black Myth: Wukong will still release on PC and PlayStation platforms as planned, with the Xbox release scheduled for a later date. Microsoft has acknowledged the situation and expressed support for the developer’s efforts to optimize the game for their consoles.
This delay highlights the complexities of cross-platform development, especially when targeting hardware with varying specifications. Fans awaiting Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox are advised to stay tuned for further updates regarding the new release window.
