The sample
The sample is large and the three views agree within a few points. The table shows what we read on October 4, 2026 (UTC).
| View | Positive | Reviews | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| All languages | 87.5% (Very Positive) | 56,797 | All time |
| English only | 88.0% | 30,297 | All time |
| Latest 200 English | 81.5% | 200 | 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-03 |
English reviews are 53.3% of the total, and the English and all-language figures are only 0.6 points apart.
What the numbers say
Reception is strong and consistent across languages. With 56,797 reviews, a 87.5% share is a stable figure, and the English view confirms it. In our Steam review ranking, Wuthering Waves was second highest by all-language share at the October 4, 2026 reading; check that page for the current order.
The latest window is lower than the long-run figure. The latest 200 English reviews are 81.5% positive, compared with 88.0% for all English reviews. The window starts on 2026-09-30. The Outer Haven reported that version 3.7 went live on September 30, 2026 (The Outer Haven, September 29, 2026), the same date the window begins. The data does not show whether the two are related, and we did not read the reviews to find out.
About the game, from the sources
Steam lists Wuthering Waves as free to play, developed and published by KURO GAMES, with a Steam release date of Apr 28, 2025 and the "In-App Purchases" flag. The Steam description calls it a story-rich open-world action RPG. The Outer Haven's update report says the game is available on PC through the official website, Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Mac and mobile stores. That platform list is that site's wording, not something we verified on each store.
How it compares with the other Very Positive games
Wuthering Waves sits with three other games rated Very Positive, and the order is tight. The table shows the three views for each.
| Game | All languages | English only | Latest 200 English |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zenless Zone Zero | 87.8% (17,299) | 89.0% | 88.0% |
| Wuthering Waves | 87.5% (56,797) | 88.0% | 81.5% |
| Where Winds Meet | 86.4% (115,560) | 86.6% | 84.5% |
| NTE: Neverness to Everness | 82.9% (7,018) | 82.5% | 78.5% |
Wuthering Waves has the second-largest sample of the four, behind Where Winds Meet, and its latest window is the lowest of the group by a few points. The windows cover different dates, so read the last column as a snapshot, not a ranking.
What they cannot tell you
A strong review score does not tell you whether the game fits your PC. The Steam page lists 150 GB of storage, 16 GB of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060/AMD Radeon RX 570/Intel ARC A380 as the minimum. Our requirements comparison shows how that storage figure compares with the other free games in that comparison.
Reviews also do not say how much players spend, whether pulls felt fair, or how the game runs on your hardware. We did not test any of that.
