Wuthering Waves cost to play

Wuthering Waves sells its characters and weapons through Convenes, a gacha system. Kuro Games' official Convene Details notice gives a 0.8% base rate for a 5-Star, a 5-Star within 80 Convenes and a 4-Star or better every 10, but no point where the rate starts to rise: see what Kuro confirms about pity in Wuthering Waves. This page covers what it costs.

How it plays

Wuthering Waves is a story-driven open-world action role-playing game. You play Rover, who wakes with lost memories in Solaris-3, a world rebuilt after an apocalypse called the Lament, and travel with companions called Resonators.

Kuro Games stresses freedom of movement: there are no stamina limits when exploring, and you can dash, run up walls, take flight and ride an expedition motorbike across the open world. Combat is real-time and fast, built around Extreme Evasion, Dodge Counter, Echo Skills and timed QTE moves.

You put together a team of Resonators, each with their own abilities and a unique Forte, which Kuro Games describes as composing a battle concerto. Along the way you meet companions, defeat enemies, gain new powers and uncover hidden truths as your memory slowly returns, with the story told through cinematic scenes, music and animation.

What it costs

On the PlayStation Store UK, Lunites run from 60 for £0.79 to 6,480 for £79.99. The store descriptions say the first purchase of each pack doubles it. After that, the extra Lunites are smaller: 30 on the 300 pack, rising to 1,600 on the 6,480 pack.

At those repeat-purchase amounts the price per Lunite isn't a smooth curve. The 60 pack works out at about 1.32p each, while the 300 pack (330 Lunites for £4.99) is about 1.51p. Only the largest pack, 8,080 Lunites for £79.99, gets below a penny each (about 0.99p). Kuro shows the Lunite-to-Astrite exchange and the cost of a Convene in the game rather than on a public page, so we haven't converted a Convene into pounds.

The Lunite Subscription costs £4.99 and gives 300 Lunites plus 90 Astrites a day for 30 days.

Convenes are paid random items. Under the criteria that took effect in June 2026, PEGI has re-rated Wuthering Waves from PEGI 12 to PEGI 16 because of them, and its pegi.info entry notes that the game can still be played without buying them (see what PEGI's paid random items label means).

Players

The 30-day peak on Steam Charts was 38,121 concurrent players on 3 October 2026. Steam is one of several ways to play; Kuro's own launcher, PlayStation and mobile players aren't counted.

How we checked

Prices and pack descriptions are the PlayStation Store UK listings, read on 3 October 2026, along with Kuro's official notice for the current Convenes. The PEGI rating was rechecked on pegi.info on 7 November 2026. The player figure is the 30-day peak on Steam Charts on the same day. The gameplay description is based on the publisher's Steam store page.
