While Black Myth: Wukong broke records on Steam and is considered a success, controversy around it keeps going. The newest round is a report by Paul Tassi, who claims the game is not launching on Xbox due to a console exclusivity deal, rather than technical issues. He stated that he received this information from a source familiar with the situation, though he did not provide any details about the possible deal.

Tassi also pointed out that statements made by Game Science studio and Microsoft around the release of the game differ from each other. The developers mentioned difficulties with optimization, while Microsoft stated that they cannot comment on partners' deals with other platform holders.

Reactions to Tassi's statement on social media and Reddit were mixed. Participants in the subreddit GamingLeaksAndRumours widely noted that Sony has not heavily promoted Black Myth: Wukong, which the company typically does with timed exclusives.

Additionally, there are technical issues with Black Myth: Wukong on PS5. Redditors speculated that it’s easy to imagine even more difficulties on Xbox Series S due to its memory limitations.

Developers of Black Myth: Wukong have not made any official statements about the release date on Microsoft consoles. In June, the game was postponed indefinitely to get proper optimization.
