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. It will launch on Xbox Series X/S on August 20, 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, pre-orders for it open on June 18, 2025, the same day the game is getting its first-ever discount. The discount will be 20 percent, 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.
