📅 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.

In our review of Black Myth: Wukong, we wrote:

"Despite some frustrating technical issues, Black Myth: Wukong is a great action game with fantastic combat, exciting bosses, tantalizing secrets, and a beautiful world."
