'Black Myth Wukong' Pre-Purchase Open, Xbox Version Postponed

TapTechNews, June 21. 'Black Myth: Wukong' has opened for pre-purchase and will officially launch at 10 am on August 20, debuting on PS5, PC (Steam, Epic, WeGame) platforms, while the Xbox Series X|S platform will be postponed.

The official response from Game Science stated that the Xbox version is 'delayed due to poor optimization', but did not comment on the rumor of having'some form of exclusivity agreement with PlayStation'.

The team is still fully optimizing the user experience for Xbox Series X|S, but there is still quite a bit of work left to meet our quality requirements and thus cannot be launched simultaneously with other platforms. We will strive to shorten the waiting time for Xbox users as much as possible and announce the exact launch date as soon as the quality reaches the standard.

This morning, a Microsoft spokesman released a statement to Windows Central about this matter, but he did not clearly confirm or deny the existence of an exclusivity agreement, but rather subtly avoided the controversial point while emphasizing his own attitude. As for the rumored PlayStation exclusivity, it has now become a matter of opinion, and I believe all TapTechNews buddies must also have their own insights.

We are very pleased that 'Black Myth: Wukong' can be launched on the Xbox Series X|S and are cooperating with Game Science to bring this game to our platform. We cannot comment on the agreements our partners have made with other platforms, but we still focus on making Xbox the most suitable platform for players, and excellent games are at the core.
