It appears the action RPG in the making, Black Myth: Wukong, may not hit Xbox platforms anytime soon. If recent rumors are true, an Xbox version of the game has been delayed due to a few technical issues.
This has not been officially confirmed, but the source where the rumor originates from does have a good record of leaks, so there is some small cause for concern.
Black Myth: Wukong’s Xbox Release Delayed Due to Technical Issues
Black Myth: Wukong Goes Far
Black Myth: Wukong was a huge success on the PS5, reaching the 10-million sales mark on PCs with great players and critical scores worldwide.
The beauty of the game, with its wonderful visuals bolstering engaging gameplay and deeply rooted storytelling, has made this one of the prominent recent releases, attracting gamers’ interest.
No one more so than an Xbox player who has been waiting in anticipation to dive into this epic adventure. It seems like it won’t happen right now.
Technical problems on Xbox
These rumors point to a big technical problem causing the delay: memory leakage led to a crash on the Xbox version.
A memory leak is a type of bug in the game through which it handles memory wrongly and thus causes performance degradation and eventually crashes. The issue is rather critical for such a complex and resource-intensive game as Black Myth: Wukong.
Reports state that Game Science is hustling to rectify the issue but without any deadline yet for building the Xbox version once it gets stable enough for publishing.
This would, of course, come as disappointing to the majority of Xbox fans who had hoped to start playing the game shortly.
While Black Myth: Wukong is a PS5-exclusive console, the idea is there for it to be found on other platforms like Xbox.
Yet, with such technical problems, who knows when? The good news is, that the development team is aware of the issue and actively working to find a solution. The bad news is until the solution is found, Xbox players will have to be patient.
Game development is always a process that will be plagued by delays, and this is more so when it concerns technical problems.
The rumors of the delay of Black Myth: Wukong on the Xbox are certainly such disappointments but also reflected the problems, both tech and in general, of dropping the same quality games across multiple development platforms.
Hopefully, Game Science will be able to fix the memory leak soon and Xbox players will finally get to play this incredible game.
