‘Black Myth: Wukong’ is delayed on Xbox for ‘optimizations’ — and now, Microsoft has responded “We can’t comment on the deals made by our partners with other platform holders”

If this is some last minute secret exclusivity deal instead of issues with bringing it for Series S that a ton of people speculated about, that would be a pretty scummy thing to do from the developer. At least be up front about it, and say it as the developer or publisher.

I think an equally likely scenario is that MS has responded to the question so many times about this game that they copy and pasted this response. Since Jez never asked I doubt they are trying to feed him “secret” info.
New studio wants return on investment ASAP to keep the lights on so they delayed the smallest platform makes perfect sense.

Did Game Science not confirm it was for optimizations? Why is Jez even asking Microsoft for comment? What are they supposed to say, “Yea sorry fam this Series S aint it again ya dig?”
This seems more like Jez trying to find controversy where it doesnt exist.
Its equally as likely Game Science could either have delayed all versions, or just the version it expects to sell the least copies of by a significant margin.

It would be a shame if Microsoft needed longer to optimize Doom The Dark Ages for PlayStation. Say maybe 12 months or so.

Don’t see why its an either or scenario. Even if its a sony exclusivity deal, they could just blame it on the series S. Which is not really a lie.

I think we are going to need some verbatim context for the question asked here.
The reporter may have outright asked: “What happened with Black Myth. Is there some sort of exclusivity deal with Playstation.”
And technically this sums that up:
I asked both Microsoft and Game Science to comment on the “optimizations” issue, seeking some clarity. Was the Xbox Series S to blame? Game Science didn’t respond, but this morning, a Microsoft spokesperson offered the below statement.
And also who responded from Microsoft. A “spokesperson” whomever that is.
Not saying there might not be a deal in place but it could just as easily them trying to ship a game to meet a investor demand and don’t have the manpower to dev the Series S version right now. There is a lot of wiggle room to make this click-baity.
