Black Myth: Wukong is finally making its way to Xbox Series X|S on August 20, 2025, and it’s bringing a massive 81 achievements for players to unlock. This expanded list is more than double the 36 trophies available on PlayStation 5, offering Xbox players plenty to aim for as they journey through this challenging soulslike.
From PS5 Exclusive to Xbox Release
Originally released in August 2024 as a PS5 exclusive, Black Myth: Wukong quickly gained critical acclaim, even securing a Game of the Year nomination. Developed by Game Science, the game went on to sell over 25 million units worldwide.

When the Xbox release was announced, some fans suspected a one-year exclusivity deal, since the launch date exactly matches the PS5 release anniversary. However, the developers clarified that the delay was purely due to needing more development time for the Xbox version, and that August 20 holds personal significance for the studio as a recurring milestone in the game’s promotional history.
Why Xbox Gets More Achievements Than PlayStation
The difference in achievement count comes down to list structure. On PS5, multiple accomplishments were often bundled into a single trophy. The Xbox version, however, splits these into separate achievements, following the structure of the Steam version.
This means Xbox players will unlock achievements more frequently, but most will be worth 5 Gamerscore each, with a handful offering 15 or 65 Gamerscore, and the ultimate “Final Fulfillment” achievement worth a hefty 150 Gamerscore.
Key Gameplay and Completion Details
- Total Achievements: 81
- Total Gamerscore: 1,000
- Estimated Completion Time: ~50 hours
- Playthroughs Required: At least 2 (due to missable achievements)
- Modes: Includes New Game+ for continued progression
While the sheer number might seem intimidating, the actual completion effort matches the PS5 and Steam versions. The difference lies in how progress is rewarded—Xbox players will see a more consistent stream of achievement unlocks throughout their journey.
