Game Science studio head, Yokar-Feng Ji, attributed the absence of a Black Myth: Wukong Xbox Series S version to the console's limited 10GB RAM (8GB usable after system allocation). This, according to Ji, presents significant optimization challenges requiring extensive expertise.

This explanation, however, has been met with considerable player skepticism. Many suspect an exclusive agreement with Sony is the true reason, while others criticize the developers for perceived laziness, citing successful Series S ports of graphically demanding titles.

A key question raised by gamers is why the Series S limitations, known since 2020 (the console's release year), only became a problem after years of development.

Player reactions include:

• Contradictions with previous statements, questioning the claim of unawareness given the Xbox release date announcement at TGA 2023.
• Accusations of developer laziness and an inferior graphics engine.
• Direct disbelief in the explanation provided.
• Comparisons to successfully ported games like Indiana Jones, Starfield, and Hellblade 2, highlighting the perceived discrepancy.

The recurring theme among player comments is a lack of trust in the developer's explanation. The question of a Black Myth: Wukong release on Xbox Series X|S remains unanswered.
