Wuthering Waves Approaches $40 Million in Mobile Revenue, Hits 30 Million Downloads Globally

Kuro Games’ title, Wuthering Waves, has achieved significant commercial success within its first month of global availability. The game reached a milestone of 30 million downloads across PC, iOS, and Android platforms. This rapid adoption highlights the strong market reception for the developer's latest gacha-style release, which has maintained consistent engagement since its launch in May 2024.

Financial performance metrics indicate that the game has generated approximately $39.2 million in mobile in-app purchase revenue, accounting for platform fees and taxes. Revenue distribution is led by mainland China, which contributes 26% of total earnings, followed by Japan at 22%, the United States at 16%, South Korea at 14%, and Taiwan at 6%. A notable revenue peak occurred on June 6, when daily earnings reached $3.82 million, driven by the introduction of a new 5-star character and a special in-game event. Following this spike, daily mobile revenue stabilized at an average of $1.3 million.

Data for this analysis is derived from AppMagic, which tracks mobile installs and revenue across the Apple App Store and Google Play. While the 30 million download figure encompasses all platforms, mobile-specific install data is limited to official storefronts and excludes third-party Android distribution channels. The findings underscore a robust launch trajectory for the title, building upon an initial performance of nearly $10 million in mobile revenue during its first five days of operation.
