The game has proven to be quite popular with PC and PS5 gamers, and so it’s no wonder that Xbox fans may be feeling left out.

It’s unclear ifBlack Mythwill hit Xbox this year or not, but in the meantime, a potential reason for the delay has been revealed.
As explained by eXtas1s, developers and “Xbox insiders” that he spoke to at Gamescom indicated thatBlack Myth: Wukong’s Xbox version is suffering from a “Memory Leak,” which causes “significant crashes.” This has led to the game being “delayed indefinitely” as the team at Game Science works to optimize the action-RPG for Xbox consoles.
