Wuthering Waves Transitions to Console
Overcoming Initial Hurdles in Transitioning to Console
Wuthering Waves, affectionately known as WuWa, enters the gacha RPG landscape that gained immense traction thanks to titles like Genshin Impact. Released in May 2024, it garnered a staggering 50 million preregistrations prior to launch. Nevertheless, some of the technical issues that plagued its initial mobile rollout appear to have followed the game to its new console version. Recent feedback from users has highlighted difficulties in linking their existing accounts to PSN or syncing their mobile progress. At this time, Kuro Games has yet to provide a resolution but is expected to address these concerns shortly.
This title was recognized at the Game Awards 2024, receiving a nomination for Best Mobile Game and winning Mobile Game of the Year at the 2024 GamingonPhone Awards. Its innovative 3-unit combat system and expansive open world filled with side quests and engaging companions have drawn considerable acclaim. While the post-apocalyptic backdrop is familiar in the RPG genre, its recognized appeal has attracted millions of players eager to uncover every aspect of the game.
