Wukong on Xbox could follow in the footsteps of Baldur's Gate 3

Despite that Black Myth: Ukun always had a lot of hype, most people probably didn't expect the game to be as successful as it was. this Journey to the WestThe inspired action role-playing game took the gaming world by storm when it was released on PC and PlayStation 5 earlier this year. Shortly after launch on August 20, 2024. Black Myth: Ukun reached over 2.4 million concurrent players on Steam, making it the single-player game with the highest number of hits on Valve's PC showcase. Also, it sold a staggering 10 million copies across all platforms in just 3 days. This is an incredible achievement that very few games have managed to achieve. Black Myth: Ukun as a result, it has sold a total of 20 million units as of October 1st and received an extremely positive rating on Steam.

As successful as this title was on PS5 and PC, it's a shame that it's not available on Xbox, at least for now. Black Myth: Ukun was originally set to release for the Xbox Series X/S alongside the PlayStation and PC versions of the game, but the Xbox port was suddenly pushed back to an unspecified date in June 2024. at that time BM:W developer Game Science has claimed that the launch of its hit action role-playing game on Microsoft consoles has been delayed due to optimization issues, but declined to specify what those issues were. It's unclear what the exact reason for this delay is, but when the game is ready for release on Microsoft's consoles, it would be great if Game Science replicated what Larian Studios did with Baldur's gate 3 and its Xbox port.

The Xbox version of Baldur's Gate 3 was also delayed due to technical issues

I like it Black Myth: Ukunthe xbox version Baldur's gate 3 also suffered a shameful delay. In early 2023, when Larian Studios announced it BG3 release on PlayStation 5, he did not confirm whether the game will be released on Xbox Series X/S. Because of this, many speculated that Sony had secured the recognition Dungeons & Dragons RPG as a PS console exclusive, as was the case with third-party titles such as Final Fantasy 16 and Deathloop. However, Larian quickly dispelled these claims as the company revealed that it had not signed any exclusivity contracts with PlayStation for Baldur's gate 3.

Shortly after, Larian Studios confirmed that they were working on an Xbox port of the game, but were unable to release it alongside the PS5 version due to technical issues, particularly with the Series S. Baldur's gate 3Splitscreen co-op unfortunately couldn't work well on the low-spec Xbox console, and due to Microsoft's parity clause, Larian couldn't release the game on the Series X or S without addressing this issue.

Game Science could benefit from doing something similar with a possible Xbox port announcement Black Myth: Ukun. A recent ESRB rating seems to indicate that BM:W could be coming to Microsoft's consoles as early as this year, and if it does, ditching the Series X/S version of the game at The Game Awards seems like a smart idea. This way, the port will not only get a lot more media attention, but it will also allow Xbox players to experience Game Science's favorite action role-playing game on their platform before 2024 comes to a close. Since this release strategy worked with Baldur's gate 3it should also work with Black Myth: Ukun.
