Wuthering Waves is on track to reach 1 billion yuan in revenue globally, according to estimates from Chinese media. Despite some criticism and comparisons to Genshin Impact, the gacha title has already become a huge hit for developer Kuro Games.
The report comes from Chinese outlet GameLook, which estimated Wuthering Waves’ life-to-date revenue at over 800 million yuan ($110.2 million). The publication believes that the game has a chance to surpass 1 billion yuan ($137.8 million) in global spending by the end of its first month if maintains its momentum.
The estimates include revenue across both PC and mobile. As we previously reported, Wuthering Waves generated almost $10 million on iOS and Google Play in its first five days and approached the $40 million mark last week.
AppMagic data shows that China currently accounts for nearly 24% of the game’s global mobile revenue of $43.6 million. It is worth noting that the total is likely higher because Google Play is not available in the country and we don’t have data on third-party Android stores.’

Given this data and the fact that Wuthering Waves is also available on PC, where we can’t track player spending, GameLook’s estimates may be quite accurate.
