Kuro Games has officially updated the Steam description for Wuthering Waves after the version 2.3 update. It suggests that the developers are currently working to resolve the game’s compatibility with Steam Deck. This popular handheld device can successfully run several titles, and it's about time for the console to branch out.

Although WuWa doesn't have native support on Steam Deck, players are able to download the client after double booting the device with a different operating system. Since the game has its unique anti-cheat software, the Linux-based SteamOS prevents it from launching altogether. Hopefully, the developer will find a solution so that fans can experience the gacha game on the go.

For now, players can rely on Android and iOS devices if they ever wish to play the game on platforms other than PC or PlayStation. They can look forward to hearing from Kuro Games if they make any progress with resolving compatibility issues. If things go according to plan, WuWa could natively run on Steam Deck in the upcoming patches.

Players can expect more optimization in the future, as the hardware isn’t powerful enough to provide the desired frame rates. Hopefully, the successful Steam launch will motivate the developer team. The platform has amassed a peak player count of 15,000. The number is substantial for a gacha title that has a separate launcher.
