Unannounced Wukong Xbox port gets ESRB rating

Key recommendations

Black Myth: Wukong has officially received a review for Xbox Series X and S.
News of Wukong's rating comes from the official ESRB website, which lists the Xbox versions alongside the PS5 and PC versions.
The game was previously rumored to be some sort of timed PlayStation exclusive, however no concrete information was ever provided to confirm this.
It's worth noting that the game might struggle on the Xbox Series S, according to a Digital Foundry video, though Game Science may have found a fix.

Black Myth: Wukong is reportedly gearing up for release on Xbox Series X and S. Game Science's action RPG was originally released on PlayStation 5 in mid-August. However, it has become the subject of constant rumors after its Xbox release was apparently delayed due to potential exclusivity.

On the official ESRB website, Black Myth: Wukong has been officially rated for Xbox Series consoles, along with its PS5 and PC counterparts. No other information is provided, although the rating description is the same as before. The new bit is the inclusion of Xbox.

At this point, it's unclear if an official announcement is imminent. Xbox recently held two events, one at the Tokyo Game Show and the other last week as a Preview partner. Either would have been prime spots for an official reveal, though that obviously wasn't the case. With The Game Awards on the horizon, perhaps the announcement will take place there.

Constant rumors plagued Wukong's release

“We're excited to launch Black Myth Wukong on Xbox Series X|S and partner with Game Science to bring the game to our platforms. We can't comment on deals made by our partners with other platform owners, but we remain focused on making Xbox the best platform for gamers, and great games are at the heart of that.”

Things weren't helped a few months later, when a Digital Foundry video suggested that a potential S-series release would have to be massively downgraded. The game reportedly struggled to maintain a consistent 30 fps, along with visual lag on a PC with specs similar to an S Series.

Of course, it's entirely possible that Game Science has found a way to make the game run as optimally as possible on a Series S. Only time will tell, though, if that's the case. But for now, it looks like the game will at least see its moment on Microsoft's flagship console.
