  • The game will be showcased at ChinaJoy 2024 (July 26-29)

Wuthering Waves joins a growing list of free-to-play action RPGs making the jump to consoles. Its success could pave the way for more mobile-first titles to expand onto PlayStation platforms.

As development progresses fans can expect more details about the PS5 version of Wuthering Waves. The move to PS5 represents a significant opportunity for Wuthering Waves to expand its player base and compete more directly with genre giants like Genshin Impact.

How well it translates to the console environment remains to be seen but the potential is certainly there for Kuro Games to make a big splash in the console market.
