Can I play Wuthering Waves on Steam Deck?

Wuthering Waves is currently regarded as not playable on the Steam Deck, due to the game’s Windows-based anticheat software, which blocks the SteamOS. You can still search for and download the game on the Deck’s marketplace, but chances are, it may not let you play the game.

While some players report having no issues, especially on the LCD Steam Deck over the OLED model, others can’t get the game to work past the log-in screen and are faced with an error from the anticheat.

In the about section of the game’s listing page, Kuro notes that it’s “working to resolve” the compatibility issues with Steam Deck and will share updates accordingly.

Is Wuthering Waves Steam Deck verified?

At the time of release, Wuthering Waves is not verified on Steam, with the status listed as ‘Unknown’. As mentioned above, some players have found success, whereas others are having issues, so regardless of the status, you can try and play it for yourself.
