The highly anticipated action role-playing game Black Myth: Wukong, developed by Game Science, has recently announced its release. The game has encountered optimization issues, leading to a delay in its launch on Xbox Series X/S. Microsoft has hinted at a possible exclusive agreement between Game Science and PlayStation which could be the cause of the delay. While Microsoft has confirmed its efforts to bring Black Myth: Wukong to Xbox, it has not provided details on the exclusivity agreements with other platforms.
The speculation and rumors have led to the belief that PlayStation may have secured limited exclusive rights to the game. This development has sparked controversy in the gaming community, with some expressing concerns about potential negative impacts on the game’s sales, while others argue that it allows Game Science to focus on perfecting the game on a single platform.
Official comments from Game Science are still pending, and the situation remains contentious. Black Myth: Wukong is expected to launch on PC and PS5 in August, while Xbox users may have to wait for a later release. However, the delay may help in delivering a more refined and optimized version of the game for Xbox users.
