Black Myth: Wukong is pure monkey business (Game Science)The developer behind Black Myth: Wukong has given some clarity around the delayed Xbox version, implying that it might be years away.Black Myth: Wukong was one of the biggest games of 2024, picking up several industry awards and breaking records following its launch on PlayStation 5 and PC.Shortly after the game launched, conflicting reports emerged around the whereabouts of the Xbox Series X/S version, with one insider claiming it had been indefinitely delayed due to technical issues, while others blamed an alleged (and very unlikely) exclusivity deal with Sony.Microsoft said the delay was not due to Xbox platform limitations in a statement afterwards, but now developer Game Science has explicitly said otherwise.In a post on Chinese social network site Weibo following Black Myth: Wukongs success at The Steam Awards, Game Science CEO Feng Ji wrote (via ResetEra): Everyones fighting power is so terrifying but the only thing missing is the Xbox robe it seems a bit wrong (but that 10GB shared memory, without a few years of optimisation experience, it really cant be taken down).The statement appears to reference the 10GB RAM capacity in the Xbox Series S, which is lower than Xbox Series Xs 16GB. According to Microsoft rules, its mandatory for games to have feature parity across both consoles in order for them to be released.In June, Game Science said it was currently optimising the Xbox Series X/S version to meet our quality standards, suggesting it was hitting some technical hurdles. This wouldnt be the first time the Xbox Series S has been blamed for a games delay either, with Baldurs Gate 3 having faced similar issues related to the consoles limitations.Microsoft will never want to admit the Xbox Series S is the route of the problem, but it certainly seems like that is the case here. GameCentral has reached out to Microsoft for further comment.Games skipping Xbox has been a problem over the current console generation, with a recent Microsoft initiative even asking developers why they arent releasing games on the platform, in an attempt to address concerns.While the limitations of the Xbox Series S might be partly to blame, the poor sales of the Xbox Series X/S is perhaps the bigger issue with reports last year suggesting publishers were considering dropping support for Xbox platforms in light of low console sales.More TrendingBased on Feng Jis comments, its unclear if Black Myth: Wukong will ever come to Xbox if it requires years of optimisation experience especially as Microsofts next console might be announced by next year.
