Black Myth: Wukong currently has no official release date for its Xbox release, and we don’t know why precisely. According to reputable Xbox leaker extas1s, however, the game’s version for Microsoft consoles has been “indefinitely delayed” due to issues with memory leaks and other performance-related problems. The game performs the best on the PC, which could be explained by the Chinese gaming market being comprised of mostly PC gamers, rather than console ones (thanks, Sekkei Digital), shifting priority to the platform.

If the developers ever disclose the Black Myth: Wukong Xbox release date, we’ll be sure to update this article.
