"Black Myth" will be available on Xbox! Foreign media analysis: The probability of joining XGP is very low

Aug 15 2025

After a year of waiting, "Black Myth: Wukong" will officially land on the Xbox Series X|S platform on August 20. As the release date approaches, many players are concerned about whether the game will join the Xbox Game Pass (XGP) subscription service. However, according to official information and industry analysis, the game will not log in to XGP during the first stage of its game release.

Foreign media Insider Gaming pointed out that the possibility of this game joining XGP in the future is slim. Analysts believe that the developer Game Science maintains a close cooperative relationship with Sony. Previously, "Black Myth: Wukong" enjoyed a one-year limited-time exclusive period on the PlayStation platform.

Even if you log in to Xbox now, it does not mean that developers will choose a subscription service. If you consider joining the subscription service in the future, Sony's PS Plus may be a more preferred option, but given the continued hot sales of games, adding any subscription library in the short term will lack commercial driving force.

At present, Xbox players can pre-order games through the Microsoft store, and the Hong Kong server also offers limited-time discounts. Despite not being able to log in to XGP, the Xbox version of Black Myth: Goku has been confirmed to be optimized and will have the same content and experience as other platforms.
