Black Myth: Wukong Hits Xbox Series X/S This August, Exactly One Year After PS5 Release

Developer and publisher Game Science has announced that its action-RPG based on Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong, will finally come to Xbox later this year. More specifically, it will launch on Xbox Series X/S on August 20, curiously exactly one year after the PlayStation 5 release of the game. This is curious because last year, Game Science denied a year-long exclusivity deal when fans questioned why Wukong was skipping Xbox on its initial release.

Nonetheless, Wukong will finally hit Xbox this summer. According to Game Science, preorders for it open on June 18, 2025, the same day the game is getting its first-ever discount. The discount will be 20%, bringing the Standard Edition to $47.99 and the Deluxe Edition to $55.99 here in the U.S. 

Wukong hit PS5 and PC on August 20 of last year, and in December, it received its first free DLC, which added a new combat challenge to the game. Wukong surpassed 10 million copies sold in just three days, and set a record for the highest concurrent player peak for a single-player game on Steam at the time.
