When Games Science first revealed that its highly anticipated Black Myth: Goku would not land on the Xbox platform when it was first released, many people suspected that Sony had reached an agreement with them to make the game PlayStation exclusive, but the reason given by Youke was that Microsoft's latest generation of game consoles (especially the Series S) were insufficient in performance and could not run the game smoothly.

Now, it will finally be available on Xbox on August 20, a full year after the game is released.Microsoft's gaming department's regulations that require games to run on all of its consoles may allow us to see top-level optimizations for Youke.

To be honest, "Black Myth: Wukong"'s performance on PS5 is actually not very good.Even if there is a performance mode that provides a smoother and better gaming experience, it relies on frame generation technology rather than game optimization to improve performance.

Over the past decade, game optimization, especially for 3A masterpieces, has been declining sharply, which is something players don't want to see.Fortunately, Xbox requires games to run on both the more powerful Series X console and the less resource-demanding Series S console, which may force Youke to embark on the road to optimization.
With the release of "Black Myth: Wukong" on Xbox on August 20, we may be able to see that the game has a much better optimization than the PS5 version.Even though there is a one-year exclusive secret agreement between Sony and Game Science, it gives Xbox the opportunity, because it gives the studio time to polish out the best value for money and all-round performance.
