Black Myth: Wukong Officially Launches on Xbox Series X/S This August
After much anticipation, Black Myth: Wukong — the critically acclaimed action RPG inspired by the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West — will officially arrive on Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 2025. The release comes exactly one year after its debut on PS5 and PC.
📅 Launch & Pre-Order Details
The news was confirmed via the official Xbox account, which posted:
“You are the Destined One. Black Myth: Wukong is coming August 20. Pre-order begins June 18!”
With the pre-orders opening on June 18, Xbox players will finally be able to experience one of the most talked-about RPGs of the decade.
📈 A Global Hit Now Coming to Xbox
Since its release, Black Myth: Wukong has been a massive commercial success, selling over 25 million copies by January 31, 2025. Yet, its initial absence from the Xbox platform raised eyebrows — particularly as it was never marketed as a console exclusive.
While some speculated a Sony exclusivity deal may have caused the delay, others pointed to technical limitations. In a previous interview, Game Science CEO Fen Ji attributed the delay to challenges with the Xbox Series S hardware, specifically its 10GB of shared memory:
“The only thing missing is the Xbox… that 10GB of shared memory — without years of optimisation experience — is really hard to make work,” he said via machine-translated comments.
🎮 Xbox Players Finally Get Their Turn
With those optimization challenges now apparently resolved, Xbox fans will soon be able to dive into the game’s stunning world, challenging combat, and rich mythology.
