Black Myth: Wukong Creators Accused of Deception

Game Science studio head, Yokar-Feng Ji, attributed the absence of a Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Series S version to the console's limited 10GB RAM (with 2GB system usage). This severely restricts optimization, demanding extensive expertise, according to Ji.

However, this explanation sparked considerable player doubt. Many suspect an exclusive deal with Sony is the true cause, while others criticize the developers for perceived laziness, citing successful Series S ports of graphically demanding titles.

The timing of the announcement also fuels skepticism. Knowing the Series S specifications since 2020, why did this issue only arise after years of development, especially considering the Xbox release date announcement at TGA 2023?

Player reactions highlight this skepticism:

• "This contradicts earlier reports. Game Science announced the Xbox release at TGA 2023 – surely they knew the Series S specs then?"
• "Lazy developers and a mediocre engine are to blame."
• "I don't buy their explanation."
• "Indiana Jones, Starfield, and Hellblade 2 all run well on Series S, proving the problem lies with the developers."
• "Just another excuse..."

The question of a Black Myth: Wukong release on Xbox Series X|S remains unanswered.
