Possibly we are facing the most successful video game of 2024, as Black Myth Wukong has sold over 20 million copies in just a few weeks. It was released last August and the worldwide impact was immediate in every corner of the world. However, the action RPG from Game Science has fostered a significant change in China that will lead to numerous studios in that territory releasing AAA video games for current generation consoles.
Despite the success of Black Myth Wukong, it is worth mentioning that there are aspects that have not pleased the community. One of them is that the physical edition for PS5 was not available, the studio mentioned it would come with a code in the box in some stores. However, Game Science has announced on X/Twitter that “the physical edition for PlayStation 5 will be available very soon“. The Chinese studio has not specified details on when it will be, but it is a matter of days or weeks before they provide more information on the matter.
Black Myth Wukong rated for Xbox Series X|S
Many players were waiting for this physical edition to buy Black Myth Wukong, but the truth is that there are also thousands of users waiting for the Xbox Series X|S version. The studio mentioned that the delay of Black Myth Wukong on Xbox was due to technical limitations, while Microsoft hinted at “agreements with platform holders” being involved. However, it seems that the mystery of the absence of this title on the Microsoft console will soon be resolved as it has been registered in the United States.
Recently, it has appeared on the ESRB website, the entity that rates video games in the United States, a listing for Black Myth Wukong mentioning the Xbox Series X|S version. This is usually indicative that its official announcement is near for a future release in the U.S. It is evident that Game Science is working on the port, so it’s not surprising that it has appeared on the classification body.
