Wukong game director confirms Series S is stopping the game from coming to Xbox – WGB

As noticed by Reddit consumer Fidler_2:, the sport’s artistic director posted on Chinese language social media platform Weibo, discussing Wukong’s successful of Steam’s Sport of the 12 months. Within the publish, the briefly touched upon the “lacking” Xbox model of the sport, saying that consoles “10GB of shared reminiscence” was a hurdle they might not overcome “with out a few years of optimization expertise.”

His actual publish is under. Please do needless to say these are machine translations and will not be wholly correct. I’ve included two variations: one from Google Translate, and the second from ChatGPT:

Google Translate: “Though there have been no massive surprises, I nonetheless felt a bit of emotional after successful all of them. Everybody’s preventing energy is so terrifying, however the one factor lacking is the XBOX gown… It appears a bit improper (however that 10G shared reminiscence, it’s actually not possible to get it with out a few years of optimization expertise.”

ChatGPT: “Though there have been no main surprises, I nonetheless felt a bit sentimental after securing the whole lot. Everybody’s fight energy is really terrifying, aside from the lacking Xbox cloak… It looks like it shouldn’t be (however that 10GB of shared reminiscence, with out years of optimization expertise, it’s actually arduous to deliver it down.”

I’ll try to verify these with Chinese language audio system if attainable, and can replace this text ought to I handle it.

Personally, I believe that is doubtless very true, and matches completely with the reminiscence leak subject. In my very own expertise on PS5, the sport does endure from a reminiscence leak as efficiency issues started occurring if I left the sport operating for too lengthy, and solely a full restart of the console would remedy it. Different individuals reported the identical drawback. The smaller reminiscence capability of the Sequence S would make it extra inclined.

And it’s not just like the Sequence S hasn’t prompted points up to now. A former Rockstar and Naughty dog designer wished the Series S didn’t exist, describing it as “annoying to optimise” for. Baldur’s Gate 3 was closely delayed as a result of the builders couldn’t get split-screen engaged on the cheaper machine, finally inflicting Microsoft to allow them to publish the sport minus split-screen on the Sequence S.

Nevertheless, as massive as Black Delusion: Wukong is, it appears Microsoft doesn’t wish to cede floor on this subject. That’s as a result of Baldur’s Gate 3 launched with out feature-parity however in any other case did come out on each machines as per Microsoft’s guidelines. In the event that they allowed Wukong to launch on Sequence X solely, it will be an enormous compromise and different builders would need the identical deal. In the intervening time, Microsoft doesn’t seem keen to threat it.

There’s a minimum of some potential good new: the director didn’t say the sport was cancelled on Xbox or not popping out, so there’s nonetheless some hope they will determine the problem out and let Xbox house owners take pleasure in Black Delusion: Wukong.
