Gamers charged Black Myth: Wukong's creators with \"laziness and lies\"

Game Science's explanation for Black Myth: Wukong's absence on Xbox Series S—the console's limited 8GB usable RAM—has sparked considerable player skepticism. The studio president, Yokar-Feng Ji, cited the difficulty of optimization given these constraints, requiring extensive expertise.

However, this justification has been met with doubt. Many gamers suspect an exclusive deal with Sony is the true reason, while others accuse the developers of insufficient effort, pointing to successful Series S ports of graphically demanding titles.

The timing of this revelation also raises questions. Knowing the Series S specifications since 2020, why did the optimization issues only emerge after years of development? The announcement of the Xbox release date at The Game Awards 2023 further fuels this scrutiny.

Player comments highlight this disbelief:

  • "This contradicts previous reports. Game Science announced the Xbox release date in December 2023—surely they knew the Series S specs then?"
  • "Lazy developers and a mediocre engine."
  • "I don't believe them."
  • "Games like Indiana Jones, Starfield, and Hellblade 2 run perfectly on Series S. The problem is the developers."
  • "Just another excuse..."

The lack of a definitive answer regarding a Series X|S release continues to fuel speculation and frustration among fans eagerly awaiting the game's arrival on Xbox platforms.
