Now that Wuthering Waves is finally available to play, chances are you’re looking for the best settings to get the smoothest experience possible.

Given that the game is open-world, you may likely run into several hiccups, especially if you’re playing on low-end devices. These are some of the recommended settings that you can apply in-game to help smooth it out:

  • Resolution: Low/Medium
  • Frame rate: 60fps
  • Shadow quality: Medium
  • Special effects quality: Low
  • FSR: Off
  • LOD Bias: Medium
  • Capsule AO: Off
  • Anti-Aliasing: On

When tweaking your settings, the game actually tells you how smooth your setup load is, as indicated on a small bar on top. Of course, feel free to adjust these to your liking. Generally, the game already looks stunning enough with Low or Medium settings.

Unless you’re the type to take aesthetic screenshots through the game’s photo mode, the differences are barely noticeable—even more so during combat, when you’ll be focused on switching characters, dodging, and hurling your attacks.
