Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Release Set for August

Black Myth: Wukong, the acclaimed action RPG inspired by Journey to the West, will launch for Xbox Series X|S on August 20, 2025, marking one year since its PlayStation 5 and PC debut. The game sold tens of millions of copies and received widespread praise in 2024. Its Xbox release was delayed, with developers citing optimization challenges, particularly for the Series S, though Microsoft suggested a possible Sony exclusivity agreement—something neither Sony nor Game Science has confirmed or denied. Pre-orders for the Xbox version will open on June 18, accompanied by a 20% discount on all platforms. Game Science states the Xbox edition meets their quality standards and anticipates it will be a top ARPG on the platform. It is still unconfirmed whether the game will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch.
