Following its successful launch on Steam, Wuthering Waves is already receiving high praise from PC players — but Steam Deck users are still left in limbo. Kuro Games has officially addressed this concern, confirming that Steam Deck compatibility is currently being worked on.
A Promising Launch With a Minor Setback
Wuthering Waves debuted on Steam on April 29, quickly earning a “Very Positive” rating with over 3,900 reviews. The 2.3 update brought in fresh content and anniversary rewards, helping the game maintain momentum as it approaches its first anniversary on May 22.
The Steam version also offers cross-save functionality with PS5 and mobile platforms. However, fans hoping to take their adventure on the go with the Steam Deck encountered roadblocks — most notably, an Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) error that prevented them from launching the game on Valve’s handheld device.
Developer Response: Work in Progress
Kuro Games has now updated the game’s Steam description with the following message:
“We’re working to resolve Wuthering Waves’ compatibility with STEAM DECK and will share updates in the community. Thanks for your understanding!”
This clarification gives fans hope that official support may be on the way. Until then, Wuthering Waves remains unverified for Steam Deck, and players are advised to wait for further announcements before attempting to run it on Linux-based systems.
The Bigger Picture
As more major titles expand to handheld platforms, Steam Deck support has become a key feature for modern PC games. Kuro Games’ acknowledgement of the issue shows their commitment to accessibility and player feedback.
With its growing player base, a strong debut on Steam, and now an upcoming fix for Steam Deck players, Wuthering Waves continues to establish itself as a powerhouse in the open-world RPG space.
