Black Myth: Wukong Announces Its Release on Xbox Series X|S
Game Science has announced that Black Myth: Wukong will launch on Xbox Series X|S one year after its release on PS5 and PC , but with a 20% discount on all versions.
Black Myth: Wukong Heads to Xbox One Year Later
Better late than never. That’s what Xbox players are thinking after the surprise announcement that Black Myth: Wukong is coming to Microsoft consoles — even though it once seemed the Monkey King’s adventure by Game Science would remain a PlayStation 5 console exclusive forever.
Let’s remember that the title was originally announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC , but in August 2024, it only launched on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Store.
What Happened to the Xbox version?
The Chinese studio justified the delay with alleged technical issues related to porting the game to Xbox Series S , but others believe there was indeed a one-year exclusivity agreement with Sony PlayStation (as reported by Forbes).
The important thing is that Black Myth: Wukong will officially launch on Xbox Series X|S on August 20, 2025 , as confirmed by Xbox's official accounts and a press release from Game Science.
Pre-orders open on June 18 , and the game is expected to appear during the Xbox Games Showcase + The Outer Worlds 2 Direct taking place this Sunday, June 8 at 7:00 PM (local time) .
Just like with Death Stranding Director’s Cut, Xbox players will be able to purchase Game Science’s action-RPG with a special launch discount.
Pre-Orders and Showcase Appearance
Starting Wednesday, June 18 , Black Myth: Wukong will be available for pre-order on Xbox Series X|S through the Microsoft Store, with a limited-time 20% discount . This promotion also applies to the PS5 and PC versions.
That same day, the different editions of the game for Xbox will be revealed — likely in digital format, although the PS5 version also saw a physical edition (which was a huge hit in countries like Spain and Italy).
The discount promotion will run until August 20, 2025 , the game’s official launch date on Xbox, and applies to both the Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition.
As for content, the Xbox version will include the base game and the first free DLC (released in December 2024), along with all the features and improvements already available on the other platforms.
More PS5-Exclusive Titles May Follow
One of 2024’s best games is finally coming to Xbox, where players will enjoy it with the full power of the Series X and optimized performance on Series S.
Another former PS5-exclusive title that may be headed to Xbox is Silent Hill 2 Remake . In fact, there are rumors it will be announced for Xbox Series X|S this very week .
Black Myth: Wukong lands on Xbox Series X|S on August 20, 2025 , exactly one year after its PS5 and PC debut. You can pre-order it starting June 18 with a special 20% discount on the Microsoft Store — don’t miss it.
