Gacha whales may have to forget about clearing their backlog over the upcoming Christmas break and start to consider playing Wuthering Waves with a New Year's Day hangover, as it's been revealed the PS5 game launches on 2nd January 2025. The release will coincide with a big 2.0 update across all platforms, and cross-progression will be available on the PS5, PC, and mobile.

While the game will be free-to-play, a £7.99 / $9.99 pre-order bundle is up on the PS Store now, offering various in-game items and currencies. If past examples of these pre-launch bundles are anything to go by, they're rarely worth it. You get 500,000 Shell Credit, 10 Wuthercakes, 5 Lustrous Tide, and more. You can view the listing through the link. The new 2.0 update that coincides with the PS5 version's release brings with it a new region, named Rinascita.
