It is quite common, when talking about a console game, to think that one of the reasons why its launch is delayed is due to the technical limitations that it may have, and as we well know, the life cycle of current consoles is practically reaching its end. end. But one of the new things we learned today is that Black Myth: WukongOne of the most famous games of this year, which on its first day exceeded 2.5 million players on Steam alone, has not reached Xbox for other reasons indicated by the brand spokesperson.
Every day we see new games that can have a great impact, both positive as Black Myth did, or negative as Concord managed to do, but in the end we always know additional details about each of the game cases. And if we talk about the first one we mentioned, today a spokesperson for the company that takes care of the development and launches of games on Xbox, indicated that the problem is that one of the biggest hits of this year has not yet been released on its console is synonymous with exclusivity.
The Real Reason Why Black Myth: Wukong Isn’t Out On Xbox Yet Might Be Sony’s Intervention
As we well know, in the video game sector there are a series of practices that are usually implemented mainly by the main console companies related to exclusivity, and this is one of the main reasons why there are games that can only be played on a console, it is because the company does not want to have competition in this case. Many of the criticisms we have heard recently about the reasons why Black Myth: Wukong
But one of the console’s spokespersons indicated that this is not the case and that the Xbox Series X has enough power to allow users to play a current title without any performance issues. Of all the consoles developed by Microsoft, from the Xbox Series to Sony’s (just like the PS5 has some aspects that are better).
This is where we can wonder why one of the biggest games of this year is not yet on Xbox, and as the spokesperson indicated, the real reason is due to Sony’s exclusivity. This is something we have already seen on other platforms like Epic Games, a contract that temporarily binds developers to a platform’s store, that is, it can only be purchased on a single console for a limited time until the end of the exclusivity contract.
Although we don’t really know if this is true since in the end companies always look for a way to blame each other, it is not something rare since we have seen it on several occasions, so it would not be surprising if it really Sony had exclusivity in the consoles Black Myth: Wukong in a temporal manner.
