On the official Q&A website for pre-ordering the gamethe Game Science studio explained that players on PC and PS5 will be able to play Black Myth: Wukong from August 20, 2024. Xbox Series S/X owners will have to wait a little longer. In the studio’s words, “we are optimizing the Xbox version to meet our quality standards.”
Game Science apologizes to users for the delay, stating that it is working to minimize the wait for players and that it should announce the new release date for Xbox as soon as the version reaches this quality standard.

While I can’t put it into words, the problems with the Xbox version must be related to the game’s performance. Something similar to happened Baldur’s Gate 3which was released for the console Microsoft delayed due to problems, mainly due to the Xbox Series S, which has limitations compared to Xbox SeriesPS5 and PC.
DLC and physical version, but without disc
Game Science has confirmed that there are plans for DLC Black Myth: Wukong, as well as an in-game store where players can use earned in-game currency to purchase cosmetic items. While it didn’t provide details on these possible expansions, the studio did talk about pre-ordering the game, which won’t come with a disc.

According to the company, while a version of the game is available for physical purchase, it will not include the disc due to logistical issues in the global distribution of the title. To address this issue, the studio is studying measures to offer physical discs to those who purchase the game during this period in the future.

Inspired by the Chinese classic Journey to the West, the story has already inspired several films and games, such as The Forbidden Kingdomwith Jackie Chan and Jet Li, Slaves: Odyssey in the Westby Ninja Theory, and was one of Akira Toriyama’s main inspirations in creating it dragon ball.
