Black Myth: Wukong players on Xbox are reporting a better experience with the recent update, version 1.0.20.21518, that went live on Wednesday. 

This patch should address various performance bugs, quest bugs, and crashes that have been frustrating players.

The most critical fix targets an issue where graphics were football-shaped and blurry on Xbox Series X in Quality and Balance modes, due to global illumination ghosting, and should allow players to see sharper visuals alongside improved overall image quality.

Moreover, the patch also addresses instances where crashes, random errors, or glitches were occurring under certain circumstances. Reportedly, players' gaming experience will become more stable.

It also fixes issues where certain side quests became unprogressable or instantaneously triggered errors when exiting dialogue abnormally.

Players exploring Mount Huaguo should also note a bug was fixed where some bosses would sink abnormally provided the player stayed out of the area. 

Another bug that has been fixed was a responsiveness issue when toggling between individual language selections available on the Text Language dropdown menu in Settings. Players should feel free to use any preferred combination of languages.
