Wuthering Waves PC requirements

To run the Wuthering Waves PC requirements, you will need an AMD Ryzen 2700 CPU, an AMD RX 570 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 30GB of HDD or SSD space.

Wuthering Waves is an upcoming action-adventure RPG with gacha game mechanics by Kuro Games. As this is a game that is playable on mobile as well as PC, you don't need a particularly powerful PC to get the game up and running. However, the Wuthering Waves system requirements do have a surprisingly high RAM requirement, even on the lower end, which could limit older PCs and laptops from playing the game. 

That said, while the game calls for 16GB of RAM, we've found in our private testing that 8GB of RAM can run the game, but with an unstable framerate and significant stuttering in combat. For that reason, you'll definitely want to aim for 16GB of RAM to get the best experience.

To meet the Wuthering Waves minimum requirements, you only need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card, an Intel Core i5-9400 processor, and 16GB of RAM. Arguably, the RAM requirement is the hardest benchmark to meet.

If you're looking for the most graphically spectacular version of the game, you'll want to meet the Wuthering Waves recommended specs, which require an NVIDIA RTX 2060 GPU, an Intel Core i7-9700K CPU, and 16GB of RAM. The jump to an RTX 2060 from a GTX 1060 GPU is quite significant, however even the RTX 2060 is considered to be an old graphics card as of 2024 - the time of the game's release. As a result, meeting the higher Wuthering Waves specs should not be much of a challenge for most.
