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. While studio president Yokar-Feng Ji cites optimization challenges stemming from this hardware constraint, many gamers remain unconvinced.
The announcement has fueled speculation regarding the true reasons behind the exclusion. Some suspect an exclusive deal with Sony, while others criticize the developers for perceived laziness, highlighting successful Series S ports of graphically demanding titles as counter-examples.
The timing of the revelation also raises questions. Players point out that the Series S specifications were public knowledge since 2020, the same year Black Myth: Wukong was announced. The recent announcement of an Xbox release date at The Game Awards 2023 further fuels this skepticism.
Player comments reflect this widespread disbelief:
- "This contradicts earlier reports. Game Science announced the Xbox release at TGA 2023—were the Series S specs unknown then?"
- "Lazy developers and a mediocre engine are the likely culprits."
- "I find their explanation unconvincing."
- "Indiana Jones, Starfield, and Hellblade 2 run well on Series S; the issue lies with the developers."
- "It's clear: the development team is lacking."
- "Another unsubstantiated claim..."
The uncertainty continues regarding a potential Xbox Series X|S release. Game Science has yet to provide a definitive answer.
