In this part of the video, the host discusses the recent Summer Games Fest, where a new trailer for “Black Myth: Wukong” was shown. Notably, the trailer did not list Xbox as one of the platforms, which led to confusion and questions regarding the game’s availability on Xbox. Initially, the developers, Game Science, stated that the Xbox version was delayed due to optimization needs. They emphasized that the delay was necessary to meet their quality standards, though they did not specify if the Xbox Series S was the cause.
The host then explains that both Game Science and Microsoft were contacted for clarity on the delay. Microsoft responded, indicating that they are collaborating with Game Science to optimize the game for the Xbox platforms, but did not confirm that the Xbox Series S was the issue. The host ties this uncertainty to the previous situation with “Baldur’s Gate 3,” where the Xbox Series S’s limitations impacted the game’s release schedule. The segment ends with Microsoft expressing excitement for the game’s eventual release on Xbox.
