With all the excitement surrounding Game Science's take on Journey to the West, Team Green players have been left asking, "Is Black Myth: Wukong coming to Xbox?"

Fret not, for we have the Xbox Series X/S delay explained.

Outside of the usual console exclusives, PC players are well and truly versed in not receiving a port day-in-date, if at all, but it is curious that Xbox is missing the party that has seen millions taking to the game - at least for now.

Hopefully, by the time an Xbox version comes out, we'll know how to unlock all of the Black Myth: Wukong trophies. In the meantime, you can play it on PC - if your rig meets the system requirements, that is.

Perhaps by the time an Xbox version rolls around, too, it will have a physical release, which is currently absent for PS5 players.

But without giving too much away, we think it's safe to say that you will be able to play Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox eventually. Let's find out just when that may be!

Is Black Myth: Wukong coming to Xbox? Series X/S delay explained

Firstly, we can safely say that Black Myth: Wukong is coming to Xbox.

But owners of Microsoft's console won't get their hands on it at the same time as PlayStation or PC gamers.

This is because, according to the developers, the Xbox version currently doesn't meet their "quality standards".

Unfortunately, no date has been given for Wukong's Xbox release.

So, how long could we be waiting?

When could Black Myth: Wukong come to Xbox? Our speculation

As we don't know the technical details, it's impossible to say when the game will drop on Xbox. However, there's no harm in an educated guess.

As the Xbox Series X has (relatively) the same sort of power as the PlayStation 5 (whose version of Wukong is set to drop tomorrow), we don't think it will be a particularly long wait.

The developers are probably getting it right for the Series S, which isn't quite as powerful.

If it's just a matter of optimisation, we reckon Black Myth: Wukong will come to Xbox before the year is over. Our guess is that it will drop sometime in December 2024.

It would be a nice Christmas present, at least!

Of course, this is all just speculation, and as soon as we know for certain we'll update this very page.
