Xbox waited a year for Black Myth: Wukong — but at least it’s getting 45 more achievements than PS5. (Petty? Maybe. Worth it? Definitely.)

Black Myth: Wukong launched on PlayStation 5 and PC in August 2024 to huge success, selling over 20 million copies by January 2025. The game was reviewed relatively well and was originally announced for Xbox Series X|S alongside PlayStation 5 and PC, but the Xbox release never materialised.

Developer Game Science never gave a clear reason for the delay. Some speculated that the less powerful Xbox Series S might have been the issue, while others pointed to rumors of a PlayStation exclusivity deal keeping the game off Xbox for a time.
