Black Myth: Wukong has shattered several records since its launch. However, the game is yet to be released on Xbox. A recent report suggests that the game’s release on Xbox has been delayed indefinitely due to a bug called “Memory Leak”.
Black Myth: Wukong sold 10 million copies in 3 days according to the game’s developer, Game Science. It also attracted over 2.4 million concurrent players on Steam making it the most-played single-player game on the platform. It has also become the second-most-played game on the platform.

Game Science mentioned that Black Myth: Wukong has attracted over 3 million concurrent players across Steam and PS5. If you have been wondering why the game is not out yet on Xbox Series X|S, a post on X by @eXtas1stv hinted at the reason for the release delay.
“At Gamescom, I spoke to Xbox insiders and developers who informed me about a technical issue affecting the release of Black Myth: Wukong on Xbox consoles,” wrote eXtas1stv.
“The game is reportedly suffering from a bug known as “Memory Leak,” which can cause significant crashes that could compromise the performance of your Xbox console. Due to this issue, the game has not passed Xbox’s bug detection tests and has therefore been indefinitely delayed until they manage to optimize the game for Series X|S.
“The studio is already working hard to resolve this issue and achieve the necessary certification. Once they get approval, they plan to set a release date for the game, but they don’t yet know when or how, but other than that error the game is ‘close to being ready’.”
eXtas1st commented under the original post that the game has already failed the test twice. According to them, that was why there is no more approximate date for the release because passing the certification is crucial.
Earlier this year, VGC reported that developers were worried about the future of Xbox considering how hard it was optimizing games for the platform and the fact that its player count was declining.
