In response to concerns over the delay of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox, a Microsoft spokesperson issued a statement emphasizing their excitement for the game's launch on Xbox Series X|S consoles. However, the statement did not address the specific concerns about the Xbox Series S console.

According to journalist Jez Corden of Windows Central, the spokesperson remained vague, stating, "We're excited for the launch of Black Myth Wukong on Xbox Series X|S and are working with Game Science to bring the game to our platforms. We can't comment on the deals made by our partners with other platform holders, but we remain focused on making Xbox the best platform for gamers, and great games are at the center of that."

Corden speculated that Microsoft's statement could hint at an exclusivity deal, although no confirmation was given. Previously, fans had expected Black Myth: Wukong to release on Xbox alongside PC and PlayStation, but developer Game Science recently confirmed the delay for the Xbox version. In an FAQ update, the developers explained that they were currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet their quality standards.

Black Myth: Wukong, an eagerly awaited action-adventure game, is scheduled for release on August 20, 2024. Pre-orders for the game are now available, with the developers revealing the various pre-order bonuses during the Summer Game Fest 2024 event.
