Available on PC and PlayStation 5 for the last four-and-a-half months, 2024's smash hit Black Myth: Wukong is still conspicuously absent on Microsoft’s consoles. Exactly why has been a matter of some speculation,

The head of Game Science, the studio behind the critically acclaimed action RPG Black Myth: Wukong, has hinted that the game's absence from current-generation Xbox consoles is due to optimisation challenges with the less powerful Xbox Series S.

Game Science CEO and Black Myth Wukong producer Feng Ji  says the Xbox Series S' lackluster hardware is to blame for the game skipping Microsoft's consoles.
