The free-to-play open-world Genshin Impact competitor Wuthering Waves is officially on its way to a console platform, as developer Kuro Games confirms it’s now in development for PlayStation 5.
Wuthering Waves was released back in May, and as thewhopping 30 million pre-registrationsprove, plenty of people were hyped for it. However, at the time of writing, it’s still only available on PC, iOS, and Android, so the latest announcement is great news for anyone who’s been hoping to play the action RPG on a console instead, even if no indication has been given as to when we can expect the PS5 version to launch.
“We are excited to announce that the PS5 version of Wuthering Waves is now officially in development,” Kuro Games writes on Twitter. “We’ll provide updates on the official launch time of the PS5 version in the future. Please stay tuned for more information!”
Despite the hype, Wuthering Waves' initial release wasn’t exactly a smooth one, withperformance issues and even device overheating problemsplaguing players at launch. After just one day, some users even figured out thatit was possible to access unreleased content by changing the dateon their systems. Kuro Games was apologetic for the action RPG’s issues, andoffered players plenty of in-game compensationin an attempt to make up for it, includinga free five-star character.
Hopefully, whenever the PS5 release comes, things won’t be quite so rocky. There’s no doubt Kuro Games will have taken notes from the PC and mobile launch, so fingers crossed that any potential issues can be squashed before the game is out and in PlayStation users' hands.
