As a long-time gamer and follower of the gaming industry, I can’t help but feel a tinge of empathy for Feng Ji and his team at Game Science. The delayed Xbox port of Black Myth: Wukong is undoubtedly a source of frustration for them, especially considering the game’s massive success in 2024.
The Xbox Series S’s RAM limitations seem to be the crux of the issue here. With only 10 GB of RAM dedicated to video, it’s no wonder that Microsoft is insisting on compatibility with both the Series S and Series X. However, as a seasoned gamer, I can’t help but chuckle at the irony – Microsoft, the company that brought us the Xbox One S with only 8 GB of RAM, now expects developers to optimize their games for a console with even less!
I do hope that Feng Ji and his team find a way to make Black Myth: Wukong run smoothly on the Xbox Series S. After all, who doesn’t love a good underdog story? And if they manage to do it, maybe they could teach Microsoft a thing or two about optimizing for less!
Joke: I guess we’ll just have to wait for the Xbox Series XL to come out – with its 100 GB of video RAM, there’ll be plenty of room for everyone!
Following a few weeks since his controversial post about missing out on the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, Feng Ji expresses his disappointments concerning the delayed Xbox version of Black Myth: Wukong.
On the popular Chinese platform Weibo, the head of Game Science (producer and CEO Feng Ji) momentarily paused his celebration over the recent Steam Awards victories to discuss the postponed Xbox adaptation of the game Black Myth: Wukong.
A user on ResetEra offers this translation of the CEO’s words:
The Xbox robe is the last piece we need… (However, that 10GB shared memory, without some years of optimization expertise, it might not perform optimally.)
The developer acknowledges with regret that the team has struggled to create the game under the console’s constraints just as strongly as they have felt pressure from Microsoft to release it on both the Series S and Series X platforms.
Microsoft, who own the Xbox series of gaming consoles, have consistently made it clear that every game designed for their more potent Series X console must also work seamlessly on the less powerful Series S console too.
Indeed, Black Myth: Wukong is among those affected by the potential delay. However, Microsoft has stated that they don’t believe it to be the cause, but it could still possibly be a factor.
Yes, Black Myth: Wukong is one of the games potentially delayed due to some issues. Microsoft says it isn’t the problem, but it might be involved somehow.
It appears that the long-standing rumor regarding an alleged secret exclusivity deal with Sony has now been debunked.
What Are the Xbox Series S Specs
Feng Ji mentions that out of the 10GB of RAM found in the Xbox Series S, 8GB are specifically allocated for handling video-related tasks. On the other hand, the PS5 sports a full 16GB of VRAM, all of which caters exclusively to the GPU’s requirements.
Compared to its less expensive counterpart, the Xbox Series X performs significantly better, boasting an impressive 16 GB of video memory.
Other notable stats include:
- A 3.8 GHz 8-core AMD CPU
- 512 GB or 1 TB of SSD space depending on the model
- Expandable memory with dedicated expansion cards or USB hard disks
- AMD FreeSync compatibility
As someone who has been following the gaming industry for over two decades, I can confidently say that Black Myth: Wukong was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated titles of 2024. The game’s stunning visuals, immersive storyline, and challenging gameplay have captured the hearts of gamers worldwide. It is no surprise to me that Game Science, the brilliant developers behind this masterpiece, are looking to expand their reach by porting the game to Microsoft’s consoles. As someone who has seen many successful titles falter when moving to new platforms, I eagerly await the day when I can experience Wukong on my Xbox or PC. The thought of immersing myself in this world once again fills me with excitement and anticipation for what is sure to be a groundbreaking gaming experience.
