Abandoned Unreal Engine 5 and Won at The Game Awards 2025. Wuthering Waves is Getting More Beautiful

Wuthering Waves received one of the main awards at The Game Awards, winning the player vote in 2025. One of the reasons was the visuals: the game looks impressive not only on PC, but also on smartphones.

Wuthering Waves on PC delivers the level of graphics of AAA games. At the same time, optimization remains high: the project runs stably on maximum settings even on video cards like the RTX 4060.

Studio Kuro went against the market and chose Unreal Engine 4. This decision paid off – a heavily modified version of the engine provides good performance on PC and continues to improve.

The game continues to evolve visually. In the new regions of the planet Solaris version 3.2, the developers improved the vegetation, reworked the sky with volumetric clouds and water. They also updated the character animations.

Wuthering Waves will be released on Xbox in July. The game has been available on PS5 since 2025.
