Black Myth Wukong is finally coming to Xbox – a full year after PS5 release

Black Myth Wukong had a very odd release. While the game was originally announced to release on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game ultimately only released on PlayStation consoles. Microsoft said there was an exclusivity agreement in place, the studio behind Black Myth Wukong denied that was the case. However, it certainly looks like Game Science wasn't being very truthful. 

Black Myth Wukong is now launching on Xbox Series X/S consoles on August 20th, a full year after the game's release on PC and PS5. While Game Science has previously denied any exclusivity deal being in place, the timing of this Xbox release date, arriving exactly one year after the PS5 version, is in keeping with industry standards for timed exclusives.

Black Myth Wukong was one of the best action games of 2024, but there have been no major expansions or DLC updates this year and as a result, the game hasn't made many headlines in 2025. It is unclear how well the game will sell on Xbox a full year later without any extra content.

Game Science claims that bringing the game to Xbox Series X/S was “no easy feat”. In the past, CEO of the studio, Feng Ji, pointed to Xbox Series S memory limitations being the main hold-up.
