Game Science's president, Yokar-Feng Ji, attributed the absence of a Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Series S release to the console's limited 10GB RAM (with 2GB allocated to the system). This, he claims, presents significant optimization challenges, requiring extensive expertise.

However, this explanation has been met with widespread player skepticism. Many suspect an exclusive deal with Sony is the true reason, while others accuse the developers of insufficient effort, citing successful Series S ports of graphically demanding titles.

The timing of this revelation – years after the game's announcement (2020, coinciding with the Series S launch) – further fuels doubt. Why, gamers ask, is this limitation only now becoming an issue?

Player reactions highlight this skepticism:

• Contradictions exist between this statement and earlier reports. Game Science's Xbox release date announcement at TGA 2023 implies knowledge of the Series S specifications at that time.
• The combination of a seemingly lackluster graphics engine and developer apathy is cited as a likely culprit.
• Several comments outright dismiss the explanation as unbelievable.
• Comparisons to successful Series S ports of demanding games like Indiana Jones, Starfield, and Hellblade 2 are used to argue for developer shortcomings.
• Accusations of developer laziness are prevalent, given the successful performance of more demanding games on the platform.
• Further distrust is expressed, with the explanation labeled as another "lie."

The question of a Black Myth: Wukong release on Xbox Series X|S remains unanswered by Game Science.
