Wuthering Waves is a free-to-play open-world action RPG developed and published by Kuro Games of Guangzhou. It launched on May 22, 2024 for Windows, iOS, and Android, reached PlayStation 5 in January 2025 and Steam in April 2025, and launches on Xbox Series X|S on July 10, 2026 with Version 3.5. [[3]](#ref-3) [[2]](#ref-2) Tencent acquired a majority stake in Kuro Games in late 2024; the studio continues to operate the game itself. [[3]](#ref-3)

The game is the most direct large-scale competitor to [Genshin Impact](/wiki/genshin-impact), and its gacha tweaks the HoYoverse formula in the player's favor at several points.

## Pull system

*Main article: [Convenes](/wuthering-waves/wiki/convenes)*

Pulls are called Convenes and playable characters are Resonators. The limited Featured Resonator Convene publishes these numbers: [[1]](#ref-1)

| Parameter | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Base 5-star rate | 0.8% per convene |
| Average 5-star rate including guarantee | 1.8% |
| Hard pity | 80 convenes, 5-star guaranteed |
| Cost per convene | 160 Astrite (1 Radiant Tide) |

The featured guarantee is a [50/50](/wiki/fifty-fifty): a lost flip guarantees the featured Resonator on the next 5-star, for a worst case of 160 convenes. Community measurements place a soft pity ramp near convene 66; Kuro Games does not publish soft pity values.

## Weapon banner

The Featured Weapon Convene is notable for having no 50/50 at all: every 5-star result is the featured weapon, with the same 0.8% base rate and 80-pull hard pity, so a featured weapon costs at most 80 convenes. [[1]](#ref-1) This is one of the friendlier weapon banners among major gacha games; compare the 75/25 systems in [Honkai: Star Rail](/wiki/honkai-star-rail) and [Zenless Zone Zero](/wiki/zenless-zone-zero) on the [pity comparison table](/compare/pity-systems).

## Collaboration and special banners

The game's first external collaboration ran in Version 3.4 (June 8 to July 9, 2026) with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners: the collaboration character used a separate convene with its own currency and pity pool, and a second collaboration character was given away free. Version 3.5 (July 10, 2026) adds Starpath Reverbs, a rerun banner covering six characters from the game's first year together with their signature weapons.

## Service status

*Main article: [Release history](/wuthering-waves/wiki/release-history)*

The game is in active service on all platforms as of July 2026. Base rates, pity counts, and the weapon banner's full guarantee are unchanged since launch.
