Wuthering Waves is a live-service game, so installation space is not a one-time decision. Keep enough free storage for the client, pre-download data, resource integration, and the temporary files created during updates. The official maintenance notices publish platform-specific requirements; use the notice for the next version rather than a number from an old guide.
For PC, install through the official launcher, run the update check, and launch once before changing graphics settings. For mobile, install from the platform store, complete the first resource download on a reliable Wi-Fi connection, and avoid interrupting file verification. If you play across devices, make sure you understand which account and server hold your character before investing time on a second platform.
After the first successful launch, change one settings group at a time: display, graphics, controls, then audio. Test the change in the same area so you can tell what improved. This disciplined setup avoids the familiar problem of copying a “best settings” list that was designed for completely different hardware.
