The mental gymnastics some folks trying hard to deny there was a console exclusivity deal.If there was an exclusivity agreement… What's the problem? I don't get it…

Please explain why and how they're announcing the port before the supposed deal actually runs out.The mental gymnastics some folks trying hard to deny there was a console exclusivity deal.
What's "xbox"?What's the point?
Ehhh, kinda lost interest after finding out it's a souls like and not a character action game.
Also, a year of exclusivity. Launching as soon as the year is over.

I'm pretty sure switch 2 is nextIt's old and on a platform that is pretty dead. Should have put resources into a Switch 2 version that might actually sell.
That's the other way round actually, the devs said "we need more time to optimise Xbox version" (it was on their website)Wukong is not even remotely like this. Everyone else has reported it was a timed exclusive but some random dev/person on twitter said, "nah its the series x optimization"
You would think if it was even actually about optimization, they would have at least sent out a presser or something being like "hey, we are still at it, updates soon"- Its literally been radio silence for months.
PC and PS5 users can enjoy the full game starting August 20, 2024. We are currently optimizing the Xbox Series X|S version to meet our quality standards, so it won't release simultaneously with the other platforms. We apologize for the delay and aim to minimize the wait for Xbox users. We will announce the release date as soon as it meets our quality standards.
"As we have said before, we're excited for the launch of Black Myth Wukong on Xbox Series X|S and are working with Game Science to bring the game to our platforms. We'd prefer not to comment on the deals made by our partners with other platform holders but we can confirm that the delay is not due to Xbox platform limitations that have been raised to us."
Yocar goes on to state that the "10G shared memory" that is used by the Xbox Series S made releasing the game on the system impossible "without a few years of optimization experience". That pretty much rules out all the talk about back-handed PlayStation deals, and confirms what many already believed, being that the Series S is once again causing major headaches for a developer.
same. especially after playing in on PC at 1080p. medium settings and 720p upscaling = 5-5.gb gb vram usageExactly one year later? Hmm, think I may be eating crow on this one.

Antoine Griezmann's three children all share the same birthday: April 8th. His daughter Mia was born on April 8, 2016, his son Amaro on April 8, 2019, and his daughter Alba on April 8, 2021.
Ain't that the truthEvery conspiracy was actually right lol. The hidden deal after multiplat releases announced. No comment from Sony or the studio. No marketing because Nvidia had it just like I said. Making journalists and MS look like liars for a year. Unbelievable. So many people on here were so offended that MS basically just told the truth politely but didn't officially comment on a partner's deal with someone else.
You keep digging brotherCrazy how people who end up in cults think everything is a conspiracy.
one year exclusivity deals RARELY result in games coming out exactly 365 days later. In fact if a contract stipulated 365 days, the game likely would have come out a day later.
What's more likely is that they're using the same date to commemorate the original release.
For reference look at exclusivity deals with Square Enix and Sony, which came to PC like 11 months later. The same was true of Octopath Traveler going from Switch to PC.
Rise of the Tomb Raider another major exclusive also launched like 11 months later.
Q: Why did it take so long to bring the game to Xbox, and what can I expect now?
A: Bringing Black Myth: Wukong to Xbox Series X|S—and ensuring the experience met our internal quality standards—was no easy feat. Fortunately, we were able to complete this challenging task smoothly within the first year of the game's official release.
If you're an Xbox player who hasn't yet experienced the game on another platform, we're confident it will stand among the finest ARPGs available on Xbox.
As noted by one Reddit post, after translating it from Spanish, Phil Spencer was doing an interview about the game and noted that he "knew" when it would arrive on Xbox. When asked when that was, his response was:
"I can't say it."
It has nothing to do with NG and takes much more inspiration from Souls games,It's actually not that much souls like at all imo and feels more like a ninja gaiden with a twist.
I finished the game 3 times, it's an absolute blast. Try it.
He died of natural causes a few years after his fame.What happened to him, though. Haven't seen him in a while.
This is the part I want to see lol.Don't worry, I'm sure the Series S version will run at 1440p 60fps.
Some people pointed out everything related to this game is on August 20th, which is apparently the birthday of the monkey God
First trailer posted on August 20th, 2020
UE5 trailer posted on August 20th, 2021
And of course the PC/PS5 release on August 20th, 2024 and now the Xbox release on August 20, 2025.
I suppose the Switch 2 version will release on August 20th, 2026 if ever
EDIT: Phil's words make sense now

Phil Spencer Claims He Knows When Black Myth Wukong Will Arrive on Xbox - Gameranx
Phil Spencer is making a bold claim that he knows when Black Myth Wukong will come to Xbox. But what exactly did he say?gameranx.com
After u considered the game just triples PS5's weekly sale in China and it was the most successful non-gaas title in that countryIts the stupidest deal ever.. no marketing no hype no anything... just bizarre

Yeah....Xbox series S was just poor excuse. Got it last year for my PS5 but I will not support in the future this studio with shady excuses to exclusive deals.Ehhh, kinda lost interest after finding out it's a souls like and not a character action game.
Also, a year of exclusivity. Launching as soon as the year is over.

Cyberpunk is old yet neogaf can't stop talking about the Switch port.It's old and on a platform that is pretty dead. Should have put resources into a Switch 2 version that might actually sell.
I mean we know they ain't buying games on that dying platform....They're more likely to be playing Mafia The Old Country or Gears Reloaded when this game comes out. It probably comes and goes without much notice from Xbox players.
Guys... you do know that they wouldn't be allowed to announce the Xbox version, LET ALONE accept pre-orders for it, until the deal runs out, right..?
This is the studio deliberately choosing that release date once again. It has a special meaning for them? I don't know, but @Three's post above shows them using the August 20th date a lot.
Because it wasn't a marketing deal, just a one year exclusivity deal. They couldn't keep up the lie that it was because of Series S issues if they announced the clearly suspicious one year to the day delayed launch without it being obviously bullshit. If they announced this date months ago the. Obviously they solved the issue and why not just release it asap? It'd be too obvious there was a delay deal.Please explain why and how they're announcing the port before the supposed deal actually runs out.
Look at their history on revealing stuff about the game, always on the same dateHow could they make it more obvious that there was a timed exclusive. Damn

So whatever deal they had with Sony didn't preclude them from talking about Xbox or revealing a release date, it was simply a one year delay.
I think at this point there's more evidence to assume there was a delay deal as opposed to the contrary.
How you know the were lying? And almost every agreement like this is under NDA…Doesn't explain why they would lie or why this and only this exclusivity deal is "secret".
The wait has nothing to do with a mythical agreement. Their development team clearly has a good project planning time-box for marketing/release. They revealed the game and UE4 build trailer on August 20th 2020, did an UE5 build trailer on August 20th 2021, released the final build August 20th 2024, will release an Xbox Build August 20th 2025. Nothing is special about that date other than Games Science's own schedule.
Not if you were wrong I supposePerhaps. It really doesn't matter at this point. Certainly not enough to resurrect a year old argument.

Probably?What's there to argue about if I've already admitted I was probably wrong?![]()
