QoL & Systems

Rover Resonance Conversion Redesign

The Resonance Conversion page for Rover has been redesigned with a streamlined interface. After conversion, the system automatically switches to the equipped Echo Set for the corresponding Resonance Attribute. Rover can now be equipped with Echo sets individually for each Resonance Attribute.

Material Locator and Blitz Mode

A new Material Locator button in the Guidebook's Material Collection page and the Resonator Ascension Planner helps players teleport to unlocked challenges that drop required materials or start them immediately. When claiming rewards after a material collection challenge, players can enable Blitz Mode to restart the challenge immediately without reloading.

Animation and Control Improvements

Resonator animations have been optimized, focusing on turning in place, movement transitions, and combat hit reactions for smoother controls and improved visual quality.

PC Launcher and Storage Options

On PC, new launcher options allow players to choose between Full Resources and Basic Resources. An upgraded Resource Cleanup feature helps manage game resources and free up storage space. These features are being rolled out gradually as part of a limited test, with further details to be shared through official announcements.

Platform and Performance Updates

On supported consoles, players can select Performance or Quality under Graphics Quality settings. This setting is currently unavailable on PS5 and Xbox Series S. On PS5 Pro, players can enable PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) to enhance image resolution up to 4K for sharper visuals.

Wuthering Waves is available on iOS, Android, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam).
