Black Myth: Wukong, the action RPG impressed by the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West, will lastly make its approach to Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2025, precisely one 12 months after it was launched on PS5 and PC.
Xbox shared the information on Twitter/X, saying, (*20*)
You are the Destined One.

Black Myth: Wukong has been a megahit, as it has sold over 25 million copies as of January 31, 2025. However, its absence from Xbox Series X/S has at all times been notable because it was by no means billed outright as an unique.
There had been sources who claimed the delay was due to a Sony exclusivity deal and not tech issues, however the boss of Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science, Fen Ji, reportedly placed the blame on the Xbox Series S.
“The only thing missing is the Xbox,” he mentioned, per machine studying translation, “which somehow feels a bit wrong, but that 10GB of shared memory — without years of optimisation experience — is really hard to make work.”
Now, it seems these points have been resolved and Xbox gamers will quickly have the opportunity to add this game to their libraries.
In our Black Myth: Wukong review, we mentioned, "Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world."
Black Myth: Wukong has had more than stories of technical points, as we reported on the developer's history of sexism back in 2023.
