New Black Myth: Wukong update patch fixes its biggest Xbox problem — maybe I'll finally try one of last year's most popular games on Microsoft's console

Black Myth: Wukong.

After exactly one year of waiting, 2024's incredibly popular action RPG Black Myth: Wukong finally came to Xbox Series X|S late last month on August 20.
