This page is part of our game codes hub. Playing other open world gacha games too? Our Genshin Impact codes and Honkai: Star Rail codes pages work the same way, with one big difference: those games have a web redeem page, Wuthering Waves does not.
Working Wuthering Waves codes
Kuro Games shows livestream codes in the broadcast itself, but it does not keep a public list of active codes. So a code goes into the table below only if at least two major trackers updated in November 2026 list it as working with the same reward. On November 12, 2026 no current code passes that bar, so the active table is empty and only the expired livestream codes are shown.
Recently expired (3)
| Code | Reward | Expires | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 Astrite, 3 Premium Resonance Potions, 2 Advanced Revival Inhalers | Expired Nov 08, 2026 15:59 UTC | Game8 3.8 livestream codes Checked November 12, 2026 | |
| 100 Astrite, 2 Premium Enclosure Tank III, 40,000 Shell Credits | Expired Nov 08, 2026 15:59 UTC | Game8 3.8 livestream codes Checked November 12, 2026 | |
| 100 Astrite, 20 Premium Tuners, 5 Advanced Sealed Tubes | Expired Nov 08, 2026 15:59 UTC | Game8 3.8 livestream codes Checked November 12, 2026 |
The one code that comes close is WUTHERINGGIFT, the permanent starter code. Pocket Gamer (updated November 1), Pocket Tactics (updated November 6) and Game8 (updated November 8) all list it as working, but they do not agree on the bundle: Pocket Gamer and Pocket Tactics list 50 Astrite, 2 Premium Resonance Potions, 2 Medium Revival Inhalers, 2 Medium Energy Bags and 10,000 Shell Credits, while Game8 lists the same items with 15,000 Shell Credits. Because the reward is disputed we keep it out of the table. Typing it costs ten seconds, and it works once per account if it works for you.
The rows under "Recently expired" are the three codes from the Version 3.8 Preview Special Broadcast on 6 November 2026, listed with the same rewards by Pocket Tactics, Game8 and TimeSaver. Each paid 100 Astrite, 300 for the set. All three sources that give an end date say 8 November 2026: GameMarket and TimeSaver put it at 07:59 Pacific time, which is 23:59 on the same day in UTC+8, and Game8 lists 08:59 PT. Either way they are dead. If you missed them, there is nothing to do but wait for the next broadcast.
How to redeem Wuthering Waves codes
There is no web redeem page. Pocket Tactics, Game8 and GameMarket all state that codes go in through the game client only, so any site that asks for your Kuro account login to "redeem" codes is not official. You also need Union Level 2, which a new account reaches in the opening part of the story. Until then you cannot redeem anything.
- Open the Terminal, the main menu. On PC press Esc.
- Open Settings with the gear icon at the bottom right of the Terminal.
- Go to Other Settings (the wrench icon on the left) and find Redemption Code under Account.
- Press Redeem, type or paste the code exactly as written and confirm.
- Open Mail from the Terminal and claim the reward. Game8 and PC Gamer warn that code mail is deleted after two weeks, so do not let it sit.
PC, PS5, Xbox Series, iOS, Android. Kuro's version 3.8 announcement lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (own launcher, Steam, Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store), iOS and Android. The trackers describe one Settings path and do not split it by platform. We could not confirm the exact button names on a PS5 or Xbox controller, so we do not guess them here. Each code works once per account, so a code you used on PC will not pay out again on your phone.
Why a code does not work
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Code has expired | Livestream codes last about two days | Watch the next Preview Special Broadcast or check this page the same day |
| Code already redeemed | This account used it before, maybe on another platform | Nothing; you got it the first time |
| Invalid code | A typo, a space, lowercase letters, or a code from another game | Copy it in capitals with no spaces |
| Redemption Code option locked | Account below Union Level 2 | Finish a bit more of the prologue |
| No reward after redeeming | Rewards go to Mail and must be claimed | Open Mail and claim |
| Reward vanished from Mail | Code mail is deleted after two weeks | Claim right after redeeming |
A lot of sites still list dozens of old codes as "working". Pocket Gamer (updated November 1) puts WUWA4PC, SHOREKEEPER, WUTHERING2024 and WUTHERINGWAVESGIFT, among many others, in its not working list. If an old code throws an error while you typed it correctly, it is dead, not broken.
Where Kuro Games posts new codes
- The Preview Special Broadcast. Kuro runs a preview stream on the official Wuthering Waves channels shortly before a version launches. The 3.8 broadcast aired on 6 November 2026 at 19:00 UTC+8, six days before the update, and the 3.7 one on 19 September 2026. Each of those two streams gave three codes worth 100 Astrite apiece.
- The official X account. @Wuthering_Waves is where the codes get posted in text: TimeSaver logged the 3.8 code post at 11:58 UTC on 6 November, about an hour after the stream started.
- The official news page. wutheringwaves.kurogames.com carries the version preview, the maintenance notice and the patch notes. It is the place to check dates and compensation, not codes.
- In-game Mail. Maintenance and bug fix compensation arrive here without any code at all. In 3.8 that compensation is worth more than all three livestream codes combined (see below).
Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Preview Special Broadcast (official Wuthering Waves channel)What code rewards are worth
| Reward | What it is | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Astrite | The premium currency; 160 buys one Radiant Tide or Forging Tide, one pull | Save for the banner you want |
| Premium Resonance Potion | Resonator EXP | Your main damage dealer |
| Premium Tuner | Unlocks Echo substats | Tune Echoes on your main team only |
| Advanced Sealed Tube | Echo EXP | Level the main Echo first |
| Shell Credit | The soft currency for every upgrade | Always short; never skip it |
| Revival Inhaler, Energy Bag | Combat consumables | Keep a few for boss fights |
| Crystal Solvent | Restores Waveplates (stamina) | Use on double drop events |
Do the maths: a full livestream set pays 300 Astrite, almost two pulls, and the starter code WUTHERINGGIFT adds 50 according to the trackers. Codes are a nice top up, but the 3.8 update compensation alone is double a livestream set, which is why the next section matters more.
Bigger than codes: free Astrite in version 3.8
Version 3.8, Lilies in a Dying Dream, went live on 12 November 2026 after maintenance from 04:00 to 11:00 UTC+8. What it hands out beats any code:
- 300 Astrite and 2 Crystal Solvent maintenance compensation by Mail, the usual amount after a version update (Game8, TimeSaver). You qualify if you had a character with Mail unlocked before 12 November 2026, 04:00 UTC+8, and it stays claimable until the next version update. With the bug fix compensation on top, the update pays 600 Astrite in total.
- Second Coming of Solaris: Unwritten Dreams, the headline leisure event, from 12 November to 21 December 2026.
- Two login events: Gifts of Bygone Dreams, a 7 day sign in that pays Radiant and Lustrous Tides (12 November to 21 December), and Whither the Wind (7 December to 21 December).
- More events later in the version: Lahai-Roi Blocks: Turnabout from 19 November to 3 December, then Lollo Campaign: Groundwork (3 to 17 December) and the Dreamfield Odyssey combat event (3 to 21 December).
- Gifts of Starpath, 12 November to 21 December: extra Radiant Tides for pulling on the two Reverb Convenes.
Phase I also brings back Qiuyuan (Wanderer Knows No Far and Near) with the Solsworn Ciphers and Emerald Sentence weapon banners on the same schedule, alongside Lily's debut banner Bloom of Yesterday's Dreamsoil and her signature pistols, Lullaby. Phase II starts on 3 December 2026 and runs to 21 December with Yangyang: Xuanling, Suisui and Hiyuki. The Starpath Reverbs II and Tideforge Reverbs II selector banners stay up for the whole version. If you are deciding where your code and compensation Astrite go, the Phase I window that closes on 3 December comes first.

Wuthering Waves Version 3.8 Official Trailer: Lilies in a Dying Dream (official Wuthering Waves channel)FAQ
How do I redeem codes in Wuthering Waves?
Reach Union Level 2, open the Terminal, tap the gear icon for Settings, go to Other Settings and select Redemption Code under Account. Press Redeem, enter the code and confirm, then claim the reward from Mail.
Is there a Wuthering Waves redeem code website?
No. Codes can only be redeemed inside the game. A site that asks for your account login to redeem codes is not official.
Why can't I redeem codes in Wuthering Waves?
Most often the account is below Union Level 2, the code has expired, or it was already used on this account. Livestream codes last only about two days.
What were the Wuthering Waves 3.8 livestream codes?
TRAINOFSOULS, BLOOMINGFLOWERS and SCHOOLLIFE, shown in the 6 November 2026 broadcast. Each gave 100 Astrite plus materials, and all three expired on 8 November 2026.
Does WUTHERINGGIFT still work?
Pocket Gamer, Pocket Tactics and Game8 all list it as working in November 2026, but they disagree on the Shell Credits (10,000 or 15,000), so we keep it out of our table. All three name 50 Astrite plus potions, inhalers and energy bags, once per account.
When is the next Wuthering Waves livestream?
No date has been announced as of November 12, 2026. Kuro Games runs a Preview Special Broadcast shortly before a new version: the 3.8 one aired on 6 November 2026, six days before launch. Version 3.8 banners and events are scheduled to 21 December 2026.
