Rumor: Potential Reason for Black Myth Wukong Skipping Xbox Revealed

Rumor: Potential Reason for Black Myth Wukong Skipping Xbox Revealed

Key Takeaways

  • Black Myth: Wukong’s Xbox version is apparently delayed due to a “Memory Leak” issue.
  • A proven insider has made this claim, citing people spoken to at Gamescom.
  • There is no official update on when the Xbox version will be released.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing the news about Black Myth: Wukong’s Xbox version delay. I was looking forward to adding this action-RPG gem to my Xbox Series X library, especially after its successful launch on PC and PS5.


Based on recent updates, the release of Black Myth: Wukong for Xbox appears to have been delayed due to a technical issue. The game, which has already achieved remarkable commercial success, with over 10 million copies sold on PC and PS5, exceeding all predictions, is currently enjoying widespread popularity among its player base. With such an enthusiastic response from the PC and PS5 gaming community, it’s understandable that Xbox players might feel a bit disappointed at this development.

Despite being exclusively available on PlayStation 5 at present, it’s been mentioned that the action game Black Myth: Wukong is intended to make its way onto Xbox platforms too. Although an official release date for the Xbox version of Black Myth: Wukong has been announced previously, no specific launch date has been given yet. It’s uncertain whether we will see the game on Xbox this year or not, but recently, a possible cause for the delay has come to light.

According to eXtas1s, developers and “Xbox insiders” he talked to at Gamescom stated that the Xbox version of Black Myth: Wukong has a memory leak issue, which results in frequent crashes. This problem has forced the team at Game Science to postpone the game’s release indefinitely as they work to optimize the action-RPG for Xbox consoles. However, aside from this critical error, the Xbox version of Black Myth: Wukong is nearly ready. A launch date for the game on Xbox will be announced once the memory leak issue has been resolved.

Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Version is Delayed

Now, it should be stressed that this information does not come from Game Science itself, and so fans should take these claims with a grain of salt. However, eXtas1s has proven to be reliable in the past when it comes to Xbox news. As some may recall, eXtas1s accurately leaked multiple new Xbox Game Pass titles before they were officially announced. These claims about Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox are a different beast, but there’s no denying that eXtas1s has a proven track record.

The absence of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox could be due to the similar issue Xbox encountered with Baldur’s Gate 3 last year. Initially, Baldur’s Gate 3 was exclusive to PC, but it was later released for PS5 around a month afterward. The game’s success mirrors that of Black Myth: Wukong, leaving Xbox users disappointed they couldn’t play it. To appease fans, adjustments were made for the Xbox Series S version of Baldur’s Gate 3 to ensure its release on Xbox platforms before the year ended. However, it remains uncertain if similar measures will be taken for Black Myth: Wukong.
