Black Myth: Wukong officially ends PlayStation exclusivity

According to Tech4Gamers , after a year of 'storming' on Steam and being exclusive to PlayStation 5 (PS5), the action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong has finally officially announced its release date on Xbox Series X/S. This information will surely excite millions of Xbox gamers who are eager to experience the game that once took the Steam platform by storm.

Black Myth: Wukong is coming to Xbox from August

Black Myth: Wukong , the game that helped to affirm the position of Chinese game developers on the world map, has achieved great commercial success despite not being available on the Xbox system. As of January 2025, the game has sold more than 25 million copies. Now, after a long wait, developer Game Science has officially set August 20 as the date when Black Myth: Wukong will launch on Xbox Series X/S, exactly one year after its release on PS5.

This information almost certainly confirms that PlayStation has a year-long exclusivity deal with the title, and it also implicitly refutes previous statements from the game's director that the Xbox Series S might not be powerful enough to handle the game.

In another piece of good news for the Xbox gaming community, pre-orders for Black Myth: Wukong will begin on June 18, and more specifically, all digital versions of the game will be discounted by 20% during the first sale. This announcement is quite surprising since the Xbox Games Showcase event is only two days away.

Additionally, sources have also revealed a DLC (downloadable content) expansion that is expected to launch somewhere in 2025. Most likely, details about this DLC will be announced at the upcoming Summer Game Fest or Xbox Games Showcase.

One of the biggest concerns for the Xbox community right now is the performance of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox Series S, especially since even the PS5 Pro and RTX 5090 graphics card are having trouble keeping the game running at 60 FPS at 4K resolution. However, with a year of development on the Xbox versions, fans can expect a smooth and stable gaming experience.
