Is Wuthering Waves multiplayer?
Yes - Wuthering Waves does have a co-op multiplayer mode. Up to two other players (friends or strangers) can join you in your world, or you can join someone else in theirs if they’ve made their world available to join. Co-op is the only type of multiplayer available right now in Wuthering Waves, so there’s no PvP aspect. There is only PvE - Player vs Environment.
How to unlock Wuthering Waves co-op multiplayer
If you’re hoping to play Wuthering Waves with friends, you (and whoever you’re playing with) will first need tomake sure you’re at Union Level 22 or higher. Before you both hit this level, the game’s multiplayer option will be unavailable.

How to play Wuthering Waves in co-op multiplayer
If you’re looking to play with friends once you’ve unlocked multiplayer, first head to your Friends list. To get there, tap the Terminal menu button in the top right corner of your screen, then hit the Friends button. Make sure you’ve added your friend first, and then you’ll see a button next to their name that says"Invite to co-op."(Again, if your friend isn’t at Union Level 22 yet, this button will be unavailable.) It’s also worth noting that this button is a bit misleading - instead of inviting your friend to your world, it causes you to join theirs.
Up to three players can play togetherin one world in Wuthering Waves, so you can only invite up to two players to play with you at once. The game’s SOL3 world level feature also puts a limit on who can join - if your SOL3 level is lower than your friend’s, you won’t be able to join their world. Additionally, endgame content and certain modes (including the Tower of Adversity and Depths of Illusive Realm) is not available in co-op.
Aside from these limits, once you’re in co-op with someone, you can do pretty much anything, including fighting bosses and gathering resources (be wary, since strangers could be greedy and steal some of your valuable resources!). If you have a friend with a much higher level, they can even carry you through boss fights. (As a bonus reference, if you’re familiar withGenshin Impact, the two games have pretty similarco-op modes.)
