Black Myth: Goku is technically feasible for Xbox, but there are challenges with XSS optimization

"Black Myth: Wukong" on the Xbox possibility analysis

A new video has been released to explore the feasibility and challenges of Black Myth: Goku landing on Xbox from a technical perspective.

The console version has limited performance

Sumaosha pointed out that the PS5 version of "Black Myth: Goku" did not perform well, the quality mode could not stabilize at 30 FPS, and the balance mode was 45 FPS. Although the performance mode can provide 60 FPS through FSR 3, there are input delays and smear issues.

The PC version runs slower

Sumaosha runs the PC version of "Black Myth: Goku" on a PC with an RX 6700 graphics card and finds that it runs about 6% slower than the PS5, while the RX 6700 is usually about 5% faster than the PS5.

Xbox Series S performance is worrying

The visual effects of Black Myth: Goku pose a challenge to the PS5. The RX 5500 XT simulates the performance of the Xbox Series S, and the game is difficult to stabilize at 30 FPS at 1080p resolution.

Insufficient optimization

Dark Myth: Goku uses Unreal Engine 5.0, which lacks the optimizations Epic added in version 5.4. The Unreal Engine 5.0 game has memory management issues on the Xbox Series S.

Image quality versus performance

Sumaosha believes that stabilizing 30 FPS on the Xbox Series S requires setting the image quality to medium. However, it is uncertain whether this is an ideal choice for a game that pays attention to detail and image quality.

summary

Sumaosha analyzed the possibilities and challenges of "Black Myth: Goku" coming to Xbox. While the game may run stably on Xbox Series S by reducing image quality or resolution, Sumaosha questioned whether this was in line with the game's design philosophy. In addition, the lack of optimization of Unreal Engine version 5.0 may also be a factor.
