Summary

Black Myth: Wukong director Feng Ji has confirmed that the Xbox Series S's memory is the reason behind the game's indefinite delay.
It debunks rumors from earlier this year that developer Game Science had entered a shady PlayStation exclusivity deal.

Xbox fans are pretty much used to being left out when it comes to console games, with developers increasingly more likely to stick to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation and sort out Xbox after the fact. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Stellar Blade, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Rise of the Ronin, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Silent Hill 2 were all third-party titles from 2024 that chose to skip Xbox, for one reason or another, but it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Myth: Wukong's lack of an Xbox version that cause🔜d the biꦇggest stink.

We know that Black Myth: Wukong is coming to Xbox at some point, but the trouble is that the Xbox version of the game was indefinitely delayed, with many 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:assuming the weake🌼r Xbox Series S was the ca♚use. Developer Game Science never really confirmed that though, and there was rampant speculation that Black Myth: Wukong has a shady exclusivity deal with PlayStation, further pushed 168澳洲幸运5开奖ಌ网:by a dodgy statement from Microsoft🍰 itself.

Over four months since the game's release on PlayStation and PC, it now appears as t♎hough we finally have an official answer for Black Myth: Wukong's Xbox delay, as director Feng Ji - who also goes by Yocar - has just straight up blamed the Series S .

Yocar's post on Weibo was in response to Black Myth: Wukong's impressive performance during this year's Steam Awards - which has once again proven rather controversial - as the game managed to pick up three in total, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:along with Game of the Year. According to a translation by a ResetEra user, Yocar explains t🃏hat he "felt a little emotional" after seeing the awards the game nabbed, and that the only thing that would have made 2024 perfect is the release of the X🌱box version.

Yocar goes on to state that the "10G shared memory" that is used by the Xbox Series S made releasing the game on the system impossible "without a few years of optimization experience". That pretty much rules out all the talk about back-handed PlayStation deals, and confirms what many already believed, being t🧜hat the Series S is once again causing major headaches for a developer.

Game Science isn't the only developer that has had problems with the Series S. Dune Awakening developer Funcom claimed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:working with thꦅe system is "a challenge", while a former Naughty Dog and Rocksteady developer straig⛄ht up just wished the conso🌄le "never existed". Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:had to drop split screen to get it 𝐆on the syste🍌m, so it's not like G🐼ame Science is alone when it comes to headaches over the Series S.
