2024 saw the launch of Black Myth: Wukong, a game that swiftly skyrocketed to one of the year’s top sellers. In mere two weeks, it managed to shift over 18 million copies and surpassed the 20-million mark in its first month – all without being on Xbox, a platform renowned for its gaming dominance. The delay in Black Myth: Wukong’s Xbox release was due to some technical hurdles; there were whispers about a memory leak issue plaguing the game, causing it to crash frequently.

Regardless of an initial hiccup, the plan for Black Myth: Wukong to be released on Xbox has been in continuous development, and now, players are getting closer to embarking on this adventure. As announced on the game’s Twitter account, Black Myth: Wukong is scheduled to debut on Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2025. Pre-orders for the game will start from June 18 at 00:00 (Beijing Time) via regional Microsoft Stores. In a Q&A on their official website, the developers mentioned that bringing the game to Xbox while maintaining its quality was not an easy task. Fortunately, they successfully accomplished this challenging objective within the first year of the game’s official launch.
