Black Myth: Wukong is not available on Xbox as of now. Regarding this, the developers of Game Science mentioned that the main reason Wukong is not available on Xbox is optimisation issues related to the Xbox Series X. Game Science co-founder and CEO Feng Ji stated, “The only thing missing is the Xbox which somehow feels a bit wrong, but that 10GB of shared memory — without years of optimisation experience — is really hard to make work.”
