After months of uncertainty and much speculation, Black Myth: Wukong is now available on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and it’s bringing great news for players who trust Microsoft’s smaller console. Despite rumors pointing to serious performance issues on Series S (problems that were dismissed long ago after seeing performance in other games), Game Science’s title arrives perfectly optimized with a range of graphical options that few expected for our beloved Xbox.

Over the past few months, even statements from the game’s director had cast doubt on Series S’s ability to handle such an ambitious proposal. But in the end, the studio, in collaboration with Microsoft, has achieved outstanding technical work that guarantees a perfectly smooth experience, meeting the expectations of the current generation.

Black Myth: Wukong runs at 60 FPS on Series S without major issues

In the Xbox Series S version, the game offers three distinct graphical modes.

• Quality Mode: resolution up to 1440p with stable 30 FPS.

• Balanced Mode: dynamic resolution that drops to 720p to reach 40 FPS.

• Performance Mode: reduced resolution, but with solid 60 FPS, designed for those who prioritize smoothness.

In the first videos shared by users, it’s clear that performance is consistent and stable, confirming that previous doubts about the console were unfounded. On Series X, as expected, the title also features several modes that combine high resolution and performance.
