Wuthering Waves version 3.6 release date, new Resonators, and DLSS 4.5 support

Kuro Games has detailed Version 3.6 for its open-world action RPG Wuthering Waves, titled "Lamplight in Mirage, Sword's Resolve in Heart." The update launches August 20, 2026, on iOS, Android, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, advancing the main story in Mengzhou while adding two new 5-Star Resonators and a broad platform-wide performance overhaul.

New 5-Star Resonators headline the update

Qingxiao arrives in Phase 1 as a 5-Star Aero sword-wielding DPS, entering combat with her signature weapon, Glint of Clouds. Jingran follows in Phase 2 as a 5-Star Fusion broadblade DPS, paired with his own signature weapon, Thousandfold Deliverance. Both characters expand Wuthering Waves' featured resonator convenes across the version's two banner phases.

Combat also gets new high-difficulty content: the Calamity Effigy Echo, the Phantom–Myriad Snare: Rustfire Chassis, and a matching Tactical Hologram boss encounter built around the Rustfire Chassis enemy.

Performance and quality-of-life upgrades

Wuthering Waves version 3.6 brings underlying engine work Kuro Games says will improve performance across every supported platform, driven by a switch in the programming language used for development. Livestream coverage of the update pointed to roughly a 10 FPS improvement in targeted scenarios, though Kuro Games has not published that figure in its official materials. On PC, the game adds support for Nvidia DLSS 4.5 frame generation to deliver higher frame rates while cutting down on visual artifacts and ghosting.

Quality-of-life changes round out the patch. Echo management gains more precise equipment recommendations, previews, and build suggestions tied to saved plans.

Version 3.6 also adds themed backgrounds for the Expedition Motorbike, unlocked through main quest progress. Sharing gets an upgrade too, so 5-Star Convene pulls, gallery shots, and challenge clears are easier to post. The mailbox has been expanded to 200 messages with higher attachment limits, and a new mail collection feature stops important messages from getting swept up in bulk deletions.
