Summary

Digital Foundry has simulated how Black Myth: Wukong might perform on Xbox Series S.
The simulation shows Black Myth: Wukong struggling to run on the weaker console, dipping as low as 18fps.
Right now, the game is not available on Xbox.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Myth: Wukong is out now on PC and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5, having given 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X/S a miss at launch. It was that this port was delayed for optimisation purposes, and this isn't too surprising - it's a very visually stunning game and one that many fear will struggle on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series S.

Turns out, those fears are not unfounded.🀅 Digital Foundry has simulated how the game might run on the Series S, using a PC with the same specs as the console. Even with graphical downgrades, we can see that Black Myth: Wukong struggles to reach 30fps in are꧂as, dipping as low as 18fps at some point.

Digital Foundry includes a section on a hypothetical Xbox port in its . While this isn't a perfect comparison - as they highlight,ไ the PC they're using has more memory than an X🌞box Series S - it does give us a fair idea of what compromises will have to be made, and there's a fair amount here.

Fans Are Worried About The Black Myth: Wuking Xbox Series S Port

As seen in this segment of the review, Xbox Series S-level tech is struggling to cope with the visuals of Black Myth: Wukong. Digital Foundry notes that Game Science mig🌃ht be reluctant to downgrade the graphics too severely since these visuals were such a selling point on other platforms.

Right now, there is no release date for Black Myt🐻h: Wukong on Xbox Series X/S. We know that Xbox requi♉res all games released on Series X to be playable with the same features on Series S, only allowing studios to make cuts to the performance and visuals on the weaker console.

Xbox has suggested that Black Myth: Wukong's unavailability on its consoles is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:due to a "deal" with Sony, but it has not explicitly confirmed this.

A rare exception to this was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3, which was eventually allowed to drop couch c🐎o-op for Series S, but kept it on Series X. This came after developer Larian tried to get the feature to work on Series S, but was unable to, leading Xbox to eventually concede and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:make the game availab🐭lꦐe on its consoles months after it launched on PC an𝔍d PlayStation 5.

With Black Myth: Wukong, however, the issue is the performance. It remains to be seen i🎀f Game Science can get the game working on Series S, and if Microsoft intervenes to helꦅp get the port off the ground.
