There’s no doubt that Game Science’sBlack Myth Wukongis currently the talk of the town, as millions of gamers are flocking to the highly-anticipated game! The Chinese AAA game, directly inspired by theJourney of the West Novel, has proven to be a massive success.
Unfortunately, the game’s console availability is currently limited to PlayStation 5 users. This has frustrated many Xbox gamers who were patiently waiting for the title. However, it seems like the game might not be coming to the Microsoft console anytime soon.

In any case, even if Game Science has made an exclusivity deal under the table with Sony, it’s unlikely that the studio or Sony will ever accept it.
Even if there’s some kind of exclusive deal, it still doesn’t change the fact that porting AAA games on Xbox is a nightmare for developers. WhenBaldur’s Gate 3was released on PS5, Larian Studios was quite vocal about the game’s progress on the Xbox Series S/X port.
Let’s hope Game Science finally breaks out of its shell and gives the community an update for theBlack Myth WukongXbox port. Despite its trouble, the Microsoft console still has millions of active players, and it would be a shame that such a popular game isn’t ever released on it.
