The long wait has been a major topic of discussion in the community, but now we have a firm date, pre-order discounts, and even an explanation for the delay. Let’s dive into everything you need to know.
When is the Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Release Date & Pre-Order?

So, What Took So Long? The Xbox Delay Explained
The one-year gap inevitably sparked rumors. Was the Black Myth: Wukong Xbox version held back by a secret PlayStation timed-exclusivity deal? It seemed a bit too coincidental, right? Well, Game Science has finally cleared the air.
According to CEO Yongar Feng-Ji, the delay wasn’t about exclusivity deals but about technical hurdles. The team apparently faced challenges optimizing the game to run smoothly on the Xbox Series S. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this story; Larian Studios faced a similar challenge with Baldur’s Gate 3 last year, which also saw a staggered release. While the wait has been tough, it’s good to know the reason was quality control, not console politics.
