While PlayStation and PC gamers have long been wielding their staff and beating up bosses in monkey style, Xbox gamers are still waiting for the port of Black Myth: Wukong. According to a credible leaker, however, the Xbox version will be delayed indefinitely due to technical problems.

Black Myth: Wukong is without question one of the most successful games of the year. On Steam according to SteamDB, it had more than 2.4 million players at one point and has now been rated over 400,000 times - with 96 percent positive ratings. However, one group of gamers has been left in the dark: Xbox players. According to the leaker eXtas1s, who is known for his reliable predictions about the Xbox ecosystem, this will remain the case for some time to come.

As eXtas1s reported on X, the developers are struggling with serious technical problems that are delaying the Xbox port of indefinitely. To be precise, it is said to be a so-called "memory leak" bug. This memory leak is said to lead to significant crashes and performance problems, causing the game to fail Xbox's stringent error detection test.

The developer and publisher Game Science is now facing the challenge of rectifying this error. The release date for the Xbox port is still a long time coming. According to eXtas1s, who spoke to Xbox insiders and developers at Gamescom, the game is nearing completion, but must first be optimized and retested before it can be released on the Xbox Series X|S.
