The release date for the Xbox Series X|S version remains pending due to an undisclosed exclusivity agreement between Sony and Game Science.

The announcement of the delay was made via a tweet on the game's official X/Twitter account, where Game Science thanked players for their patience.

Developed by the Chinese studio Game Science, 'Black Myth: Wukong' is an action RPG inspired by the classic novel 'Journey to the West.'

Upon its release, 'Black Myth: Wukong' attracted over 1.44 million concurrent players on Steam, making it the platform's fourth biggest game ever in that metric.

The game initially launched digitally on August 19, 2023, and has been praised for its quality and visuals, distinguishing itself from typical Soulslike games.

While no specific release date for the physical edition has been provided, the existence of the master disc suggests it could launch in the next few months.

Additionally, a DLC for 'Black Myth: Wukong' is planned for release in early 2025, potentially coinciding with the Chinese New Year.

However, the Xbox Series X version's launch has been delayed to ensure it meets quality standards, disappointing many Xbox owners.

Microsoft confirmed that the delay for the Xbox release is not due to platform limitations, despite the game's successful launch on PC and PS5.

Reports suggest that the delay was caused by Sony securing an undisclosed console exclusivity deal for the game.

This has led to skepticism among some commenters about the validity of claims regarding Sony's exclusivity, with calls for proof before accepting such statements.

In the meantime, Game Science has confirmed that a physical PlayStation 5 edition of 'Black Myth: Wukong' is coming soon, with the master disc ready for production.
