it home reported on september 4 that microsoft today issued a statement regarding speculation that the release of "black myth: wukong" on the xbox platform will be delayed. the company made it clear that the delayed release on the xbox series x|s platform was not due to technical issues.

a microsoft representative said, "as we have said before, we are excited for black myth: wukong to be released on xbox series x|s and are working with game science to bring the game to our platform. we do not comment on deals our partners have made with other platform holders, but we can confirm that the delay is not due to limitations of the xbox platform."

it home noted that this contradicts previous speculation by industry analysts, who believed that the delay was due to the weaker performance of the xbox series s. microsoft's statement suggests that the obstacle lies elsewhere, most likely an exclusive agreement between game science and another platform holder (possibly sony), but this is just speculation at this point.

it’s worth noting that game science previously issued a statement saying that the xbox version was “delayed due to poor optimization.” this contradicts microsoft’s latest statement, making the specific nature of the problem unclear.
