#INSIDER: IGN portal reports that Black Myth: Wukong was not released on Xbox due to an exclusive agreement, and not because of any technical problems with the Xbox console…
According to the source, the delay in the development of the Xbox version was the result of an exclusive deal, which neither Game Science nor Sony have publicly announced.
The source called the talk about technical problems on Xbox "inaccurate", and the whole situation a "throw-in" to distract.
IGN has reached out to Game Science and Sony for comment on these reports.
It's funny that the same information is now also being disseminated by journalist Paul Tassi from Forbes, who previously published material that the delay in the release was due to the Xbox Series S console and Microsoft's policy.

#INSIDER: Forbes journalist challenges Jeff Grubb about the existence (or lack thereof) of an exclusive contract for the game Black Myth: Wukong…
Paul Tassi shared new details about the situation after Jeff Grubb announced the absence of an exclusive contract for Black Myth Wukong for the PlayStation 5 console:
"I have a lot of respect for Jeff and Shpeshal Nick. I wouldn't have published this without someone I consider to be an extremely competent source. It upsets me not to be able to tell you more.
This situation was described to me as "strange", which, of course, I fully agree with at the moment."
To clarify, Grubb assures that there is no exclusive contract between PlayStation and Game Science developers. It's just that the first one brought money to the second one to work on the port of the game and its optimization.

#INSIDER: Jez Corden from Windows Central gave a new comment about what's going on with Black Myth: Wukong…
"By the way, the Wukong developers have never mentioned Series S. In addition, I am 100% sure of several sources that have repeatedly turned out to be accurate (including what will come to me next week).
Xbox believes that there is a deal with Sony to exclude Xbox for a certain period of time. Paul was also the first to report this, but there was talk about it around the Xbox team back at Summer Game Fest."

#INSIDER: Jason Schreier talked about the Blizzard Studio's RTS team, as well as the possibility of Warcraft 4:
"Well, okay. StarCraft II performed well, but did not meet the high expectations of the company, and each subsequent part of the trilogy worked worse than the previous one. Production manager Tim Morten spearheaded a plan to release new content packages in the form of Nova Covert Ops (which I thought was the best), but it didn't sell much either. Then SC2 went out into the world again and worked fine, but not Overwatch or Hearthstone.

Immediately after admitting why she needed the code, EA representatives tried to restrict access to her page on X, but due to the fact that the owner of the social network is not a supporter of "awakened" rhetoric, it did not go beyond a warning.
She was also asked what she thinks about the new BioWare game.:
• This is a crappy game.
• She's a damn mess.
- Too "awakened".
- A very linear game.
- Your choice doesn't matter at all.
