Is Black Myth Wukong on Nintendo Switch?

✓ At a glance

• Black Myth: Wukong isn’t available on the Nintendo Switch console.
• The main reason is that the console’s hardware isn’t strong enough to support the game’s demands.

Black Myth: Wukong has gained popularity quickly after its release, winning players all over the world. However, many who want to play the game aren’t able to, because the game is currently only available on select platforms. Let’s find out if the Nintendo Switch is one of them.

Can you play Black Myth: Wukong on Nintendo Switch?

No, Black Myth: Wukong doesn’t have a Switch release. To put it simply, the handheld console doesn’t have enough hardware power to run the game. The Switch is showing its age and as such, there is little to no chance that it could run such a demanding game.

There were rumours surrounding a possible Switch port, because some players were able to get the game to run. However, that was done using the Remote Play function through a PC. That way, you’re essentially playing the game on Switch’s screen and controllers, while the computer does all the heavy lifting, as we can see in this example.

Will Black Myth: Wukong be on Switch?

As stated, the game likely won’t be ported to this version of Nintendo Switch. However, with the rumours of the next, stronger, version of the console circling around, it’s entirely possible that Black Myth: Wukong could be ported over. Of course, that still falls into the category of rumours and best wishes.

For now, the current version of Switch simply can’t run the game unless the devs do some heavy de-scaling. That could prove to be a lot of work for something with a limited shelf life, especially knowing that a more powerful console is rumoured to be around the corner. For now, we have to settle on playing the game on PC and PlayStation 5, as well as the planned future release on Xbox Series X|S.
