Black Myth: Wukong appears to be close to the Xbox Series

The highly anticipated action RPG Black Myth: Wukong, which has been a hit on PlayStation 5 and PC since its launch in August 2024, appears to be about to arrive on Xbox Series X/S.

The game’s stunning visuals and challenging combat captivated players around the world, and became one of the fastest-selling games of the year.

Although internal sources claim that there was no official exclusivity agreement, Sony supported the game’s production, which may hastened its release on their platform.
