Ever since I joined Steam in April, “Wuthering Waves” has rapidly climbed the ranks as one of the platform’s most beloved free games. Before gracing Steam, this captivating gacha game initially launched on mobile and PlayStation 5, amassing a dedicated fanbase across those platforms. Now, with its latest update (Version 2.4), this open-world RPG has shattered records on Steam, attracting an unprecedented number of concurrent players. On June 11th, the game welcomed a surge of gamers back to its world, reaching an astounding 24-hour peak of over 32,600 players on Steam alone.
Wuthering Waves
Description: Wuthering Waves, an upcoming gacha game, has drawn parallels to Genshin Impact due to its shared anime aesthetic. However, it’s not created by HoYoverse but by Kuro Games. This open-world RPG offers a rich narrative backdrop along with Souls-like combat mechanics, creating an immersive experience for players. The game’s popularity on mobile platforms is evident, earning it a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam. Just like any live-service game, Wuthering Waves receives regular updates, introducing fresh content to keep players engaged.
Following its 2.4 update, the free-to-play game “Wuthering Waves” has enriched its narrative and introduced fresh character banners. This development makes it an appealing choice for players who are new to the game or those returning after a break. Given that “Wuthering Waves” was only released last year, the storyline remains accessible for novice players. The continuous influx of new fans might be attributed to this latest major update. Additionally, the enticing 7-Day Login Event offering generous in-game currency certainly doesn’t deter potential gamers.
