Black Myth Wukong's director has pointed to the Xbox Series S as a potential reason for the action game's Xbox release being delayed, suggesting the console lacks memoryTech14:03, 02 Jan 2025Black Myth Wukong is one of 2024's most impressive titles(Image: Game Science)Black Myth Wukong was one of the best games of 2024, with developer Game Science's action title doing incredible numbers on Steam and PS5 at launch, while also being nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards.That's got Xbox players wondering when they'll get the chance to step into the adventure, with Microsoft suggesting that an exclusivity agreement between Game Science and PlayStation could have been what kept the game off of its Series X and Series S systems.Now it seems things could be a little more complex, with Black Myth Wukong's director suggesting the delay could be down to the Series S console lacking in memory.Black Myth Wukong won the Steam Game of the Year award(Image: Game Science)Posting on Chinese social media site Weibo and translated by Resetera, Black Myth: Wukong director Feng Ji said "Although there were no big surprises, I still felt a little emotional after taking all of them [Steam Awards].""Everyone's fighting power is so terrifying, but the only thing missing is the Xbox robe... It seems a bit wrong (but that 10G shared memory, without a few years of optimization experience, it really can't be taken down)."The Series S has 10GB of RAM, while the Series X has 16GB, which appears to be what's causing the delay at least according to Game Science.In case you missed it, this situation is similar to the release of Baldur's Gate 3 in 2023. The game launched on PS5 and PC, but Microsoft's apparently commitment to parity between its Xbox consoles meant it couldn't come to Series X without also coming to Series S.Article continues belowThat meant the game launched significantly later than PS5 and PC versions, but Microsoft worked with the studio to ensure it arrived on both Xbox consoles. In June 2024, Game Science announced the game would be delayed "to meet our quality standards", before Xbox suggested it was down to a PlayStation exclusivity agreement.While the game picked up the Game of the Year award from the Steam Awards, it missed out on the top gong at The Game Awards something Feng Ji was less than pleased with, according to translations.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
