No, Black Myth: Wukong is not available via Xbox Game Pass right now, nor is it even accessible to play on Xbox. The game was scheduled to be released on the Microsoft-owned console, however, its release has been delayed.

Thereā€™s no date for Black Myth: Wukong to be released on Xbox yet, and the only word weā€™ve had regarding the change of release date is that it has been due to optimization issues getting the game to run on Xbox Series devices.

Given the gameā€™s next-gen visuals, it’s no shock that there are troubles optimizing things for the console. While reviews mention the game isnā€™t perfect one portion that has received unanimous praise is its incredible visuals. If youā€™ve seen any of the previews for this game which utilizes Unreal Engine 5 then you can see why it’s receiving so much praise.

Furthermore, even after its Xbox release, thereā€™s no guarantee it will come to Game Pass. Not all games are made available via the Microsoft subscription service, and to date there has been no news that Black Myth: Wukong will be one of them. Fans will need to wait and see as 2024 progresses.

As of Aug. 20, 2024, the day of the gameā€™s release the only way to play Black Myth: Wukong is to purchase it on PC or PlayStation 5. Once there is a date for the gameā€™s Xbox release you can expect to hear about it here at Escapist Magazine, and should it join Game Pass then this article will be updated.
