Black Myth Wukong will finally debut on Xbox a full year after its original release on PS5 and PC. While Sony and Game Science never confirmed or denied the existence of an exclusive partnership for the game, the “exactly one year later” release date does smell fishy.

Regardless, Black Myth Wukong will launch on Xbox Series X/S on 20 August. The game will go up for pre-order before the official launch, and it will release in both the original editions. This includes the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. The prices will be $59.99 and $69.99 respectively.

Game Science says pre-orders will open on 18 June ahead of the full release in August. When pre-orders do open, players will be able to get the game at 20% off between 18 June and 11 July.

Black Myth Wukong did incredibly well when it launched last year. The game broke Steam records and sold 17.8 million copies. The Xbox launch has been a long time coming. Again, we don’t know if there ever was an exclusive agreement between Sony and Game Science. Reports claimed there was, then some sources claimed that Sony actually helped fund and develop the game.
