Wuthering Waves Goes Portable: Now Officially Steam Deck Verified!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Kuro Games has made *Wuthering Waves* Steam Deck compatible, letting players grind on the go and giving the game a competitive edge against titles like *Genshin Impact* that lack Steam Deck support.
Right then, listen up, Wavefarers! Seems Kuro Games has finally heard the collective prayers (and, let's be honest, the *slightly* annoyed forum posts) of Steam Deck owners. According to Game Rant, *Wuthering Waves*, that shiny new gacha action RPG, is now officially playable on Valve's handheld wonder machine.
Remember back in April when the game launched on Steam and promptly told Steam Deck users to, well, get stuffed thanks to an Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) error? Yeah, good times. But fear not, because Kuro Games promised a fix, and fair dinkum, they've delivered. It might still need a fiddle here and there to get things running *perfectly* (we're talking graphical settings, frame rates, the usual PC jazz), but the dreaded ACE error should be banished to the digital ether.
Now, why is this actually important? Well, aside from the obvious benefit of being able to grind for characters on the bus (priorities, people!), it gives *Wuthering Waves* a cheeky little leg up on the competition. Game Rant points out that while other gacha giants like *Genshin Impact* are, shall we say, conspicuously absent from Steam and the Steam Deck scene, Kuro Games has jumped in with both feet. Cross-progression is supported too, so you can seamlessly bounce between your PC and Steam Deck without losing any progress. Lovely!
And it seems to be working. *Wuthering Waves* has been racking up some impressive numbers on Steam, with plenty of concurrent players and a "Very Positive" review score. Plus, it's doing alright on the PlayStation 5 too. All told, apparently this title raked in nearly $40 million last month alone. Not bad, eh? With Steam Deck compatibility, Kuro Games is clearly hoping to tap into an even bigger pool of players. It's a clever move, and one that suggests they're listening to their community. Which, in the often-bizarre world of gaming companies, is a surprisingly refreshing thing. Fingers crossed this means more couch-based Wavefarers soon!
Of course, all this raises a bigger question: is Steam Deck compatibility the new must-have feature for gacha games? Only time will tell, mate. But for now, *Wuthering Waves* players can rejoice – their gacha addiction can now follow them wherever they go.
