Game Science studio head, Yokar-Feng Ji, attributed the absence of a Xbox Series S version of Black Myth: Wukong to the console's limited 10GB RAM (with 2GB allocated to the system). This constraint, he claims, presents significant optimization challenges, requiring extensive expertise to overcome.
However, this explanation has been met with considerable player skepticism. Some suspect an exclusive deal with Sony is the true reason for the omission, while others accuse the developers of insufficient effort, citing successful Series S ports of more graphically demanding titles.
The timing of this revelation also fuels doubt. If Game Science was aware of the Series S specifications in 2020 (the year of its announcement and the console's launch), why did this issue only arise after years of development?
Player reactions highlight this disbelief:
- Several prior reports contradict this claim. Game Science announced the Xbox release date at TGA 2023; were the Series S specs unknown then?
- This points to a combination of inadequate development and a subpar graphics engine.
- The explanation lacks credibility.
