Kuro Games has officially announced that their hit action RPG Wuthering Waves is in development for PlayStation 5. This news comes as a welcome surprise for console gamers eager to experience the post-apocalyptic world of Solaris 3.
Wuthering Waves launched on mobile and PC platforms in May 2024 to considerable success. The game offers:
Feature | Description |
Setting | Post-apocalyptic world of Solaris 3 |
Protagonist | Rover, an amnesiac hero |
Gameplay | Action RPG with in-depth combat |
Unique Elements | Tacet Discord summons, grappling, wall-running |
After this success, Kuro Games finally made the announcement via their official Twitter account stating:
“We are excited to announce that the PS5 version of Wuthering Waves is now officially in development. We’ll provide updates on the official launch time of the PS5 version in the future.”
While no specific release date was provided, this confirmation is sure to excite PlayStation fans who have been waiting for the game to arrive on consoles.
Since its launch, Wuthering Waves has seen impressive performance. Here is the data to show you how successful the game actually is:
Metric | Achievement |
Pre-Registration | 30 million |
Revenue | Over $100 million (Google Play and Apple App Store) |

It’s worth noting that the game’s initial release on mobile and PC platforms wasn’t without issues. Players reported some performance problems, their devices got overheated, and even unintended access to unreleased content.
However, Kuro Games responded promptly with apologies and in-game compensation including a free five-star character. This responsiveness bodes well for the upcoming PS5 version as the team has likely learned valuable lessons from the initial launch.
While details are scarce some information about the PS5 version has emerged:
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.
