Can I Run Wuthering Waves?
Released in 2025, Wuthering Waves is an action adventure game built by KURO GAMES. It offers a single player campaign. The game ships for Windows alone. Entry is free, which makes the disk requirement the only real barrier. As a new title, the figures below were written against parts you can still buy. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Steam lists support for 10 languages.

Setting and environment
The game is set in an anime styled world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Wuthering Waves has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs. Play is presented in three dimensions.
Why Wuthering Waves is demanding
Demand in Wuthering Waves is ordinary. The publisher has NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060/AMD Radeon RX 5700XT/intel ARC A750 in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Wuthering Waves scales hard with the hardware you give it. Wuthering Waves needs 64 bit Windows. DirectX 12 is named, so Wuthering Waves expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. Wuthering Waves wants about 150 GB of disk space on an SSD, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive. At 32 GB, the RAM requirement is the one most likely to catch an otherwise capable PC out.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Wuthering Waves?
Free up space before installing Wuthering Waves: it needs roughly 150 GB of SSD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060/AMD Radeon RX 570/Intel ARC A380 and 16 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: RAM
Large install. Wuthering Waves needs about 150 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
