Best-Selling PS5 GOTY Nominee is Coming to Xbox on August 20

by

On August 20th, a year after its initial release on PC and PS5, the highly acclaimed “Black Myth: Wukong” is making its debut on Xbox Series X/S. This game was one of the most successful titles in 2024, selling an astounding 20 million copies within its first month and joining the ranks of the fastest-selling video games ever produced. The challenging action game, inspired by the classic Chinese novel “Journey to the West”, even earned five nominations at The Game Awards 2024.

Last year’s release of “Black Myth: Wukong” garnered several nominations, including Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Action Game. It took home awards for the latter two categories, but opinions on the game were mixed among reviewers. However, it was generally well-received and is considered one of the standout new games from last year.

It’s quite remarkable that the game Black MyMyth: Wukong has achieved such phenomenal success without being released on Xbox or Nintendo platforms; instead, it was only made available on PC and PlayStation 5. Several explanations have been proposed for the absence of Black MyMyth: Wukong on Xbox, including whispers of an exclusivity deal with PlayStation 5, though such claims have been challenged. Game Science suggested that the challenge of optimizing the game for Xbox consoles was the reason for the delay, while others pointed to the relatively weaker performance capabilities of the Xbox Series S as a possible hindrance. Regardless of the specifics, the wait for Black MyMyth: Wukong on Xbox is almost over, with the game set to arrive on August 20 – exactly one year after its initial launch on PC and PlayStation 5.
