According to a report from Forbes Thursday, an exclusivity deal is keeping Black Myth: Wukong from launching on Xbox Series S/X, not previously reported technical issues. The information was corroborated by IGN in a separate report, which claimed that Game Science had signed an exclusivity deal with Sony, making it clear that the game's absence on Xbox is due to this agreement rather than any technical difficulties.
Describing the reports of tech issues on Xbox delaying Black Myth: Wukong launch as 'inaccurate,' the report indicated that neither Sony nor Game Science had publicised the exclusivity deal. It also mentioned there were no technical problems that would delay the game on Xbox reported to Microsoft, challenging the narrative that previous claims of technical issues were the true reasons for the Xbox delay.
Earlier this year, Game Science claimed in the FAQ section of the game's website that it needed more time to optimise the title for the platform, stating that, 'PC and PS5 users can enjoy the full game starting August 20, 2024. We are currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet our quality standards, so it won't release simultaneously with the other platforms.' This statement has now been contradicted by reports of an exclusivity deal.
