Wuthering Waves redeem codes are one of the easiest ways to grab free Astrite, Shell Credits, Resonance Potions, and other upgrade materials without grinding extra content. Version 3.6 launched on August 20, 2026, and if you haven’t claimed the permanent code yet, there is still something waiting for you. This guide lists every active code, every recently expired one, and exactly how to use them in the game. We also cover what rewards you can expect and when the next batch of codes will likely drop.
Phase 2 of Version 3.6 is live right now — if you are saving Astrite for Jingran’s banner or the upcoming Version 3.7 characters Hsin and Suoming, every free pull counts. Bookmark this page – we update it as soon as new codes go live.
All Active Wuthering Waves Redeem Codes (September 2026)
As of September 3, 2026, there is one confirmed active code in Wuthering Waves. The three Version 3.6 Preview Special Broadcast codes expired on August 9 and are no longer redeemable.
| Code | Rewards | Status |
|---|---|---|
| WUTHERINGGIFT | 50 Astrite, 2x Premium Resonance Potion, 2x Medium Revival Inhaler, 2x Medium Energy Bag, 10,000 Shell Credits | ✅ Active (permanent) |
This code has been active since the game launched and it has no announced expiry date. However, it can only be used once per account. If you have never redeemed it, do that right now before anything else.
Wuthering Waves 3.6 Livestream Codes (Expired)
Kuro Games revealed three codes during the Version 3.6 Preview Special Broadcast on August 7, 2026. Together they gave out 300 Astrite plus a stack of upgrade materials. Unfortunately, all three expired on August 9, 2026 at 08:59 AM PT.
| Code | Rewards | Status |
|---|---|---|
| HEARTOFSWORD | 100 Astrite, 3x Advanced Resonance Potion, 2x Medium Revival Inhaler | ❌ Expired |
| ETERNALFLAME | 100 Astrite, 3x Advanced Energy Core, 2x Medium Nutrient Block | ❌ Expired |
| THEANSWER | 100 Astrite, 3x Advanced Enclosure Tank II, 20,000 Shell Credits | ❌ Expired |
These codes were tied to the 3.6 broadcast titled “Lamplight in Mirage, Sword’s Resolve in Heart.” Livestream codes like these are the most generous in a patch cycle – each one gave 100 Astrite. If you missed them, the next chance will be the Version 3.7 Preview Special Broadcast, estimated around September 17–18, 2026.
How to Redeem Codes in Wuthering Waves
There is no official website redemption portal for Wuthering Waves. All codes must be entered directly inside the game. Here is how to do it step by step.
Before you start: You must reach Union Level 2 first. You get there by completing the Chapter 1, Act 1 main quest called “Utterance of Marvels: I.” Most new players hit this within 30 to 60 minutes of starting the game.
- Launch Wuthering Waves on any device (PC, iOS, or Android).
- Open the main menu by clicking the icon in the top-right corner, or press ESC on PC.
- Click the Settings cog icon at the bottom of the menu.
- Go to the “Other Settings” tab – it has a spanner/wrench symbol.
- Find “Redemption Code” under the Account section and press the Redeem button.
- Type or paste your code exactly as shown. Codes are case-sensitive.
- Click Confirm. A popup will tell you if the code worked.
- Open your in-game Mailbox (the envelope icon on the main menu) and collect your rewards.
Important: Mail in your inbox expires after roughly two weeks. Claim your rewards soon after redeeming – don’t let them sit and disappear.
WuWa Redeem Codes – Common Errors and Fixes
Sometimes codes don’t work on the first try. Here are the most common reasons and how to fix them.
Code Says “Invalid”
This usually means a typo. Copy and paste the code directly instead of typing it manually. Even one wrong character or an extra space will cause this error. If the code is still showing as invalid after pasting, it has likely expired.
Code Says “Already Redeemed”
Each code can only be used once per account. If you’ve already claimed it before, you won’t be able to get the rewards again. There is no way around this.
Code Says “Expired”
Livestream codes have a very short window – sometimes less than 48 hours. If a code expired, unfortunately the rewards are gone. The best way to avoid missing future codes is to bookmark this page and follow Kuro Games’ official social media channels.
Redemption Option is Greyed Out
This means your account has not yet reached Union Level 2. Complete the Chapter 1, Act 1 quest to unlock this feature.

When Are the Next Wuthering Waves Codes Coming?
Kuro Games follows a fairly consistent schedule for dropping new codes. Here is what to expect.
Version Preview Special Broadcasts
Every major version update comes with a Preview Special Broadcast roughly one to two weeks before launch. Kuro Games always drops three codes during these streams. Each code gives 100 Astrite, meaning you can collect 300 Astrite per broadcast. These are the biggest code events in the game’s cycle.
The next codes should arrive during the Version 3.7 Preview Special Broadcast, estimated for September 17–18, 2026 – approximately two weeks before Version 3.7 is expected to launch on October 1, 2026. Version 3.7 will introduce two newly announced 5-star Resonators, Hsin and Suoming.
Special Events and Milestones
Kuro Games occasionally releases codes to celebrate milestones like anniversaries, collaborations, or major platform launches. For example, Version 3.5 included a collab code (F5F4D3B2A2) tied to the Escape from Duckov event. Keep an eye on their official website and social media for surprise drops.
How Long Do Codes Last?
Livestream codes are time-limited and often expire within 48 hours of going live. Event or collaboration codes may last for the duration of the event. Only the permanent welcome code (WUTHERINGGIFT) has no announced expiry. That said, always redeem codes as soon as you see them – don’t wait.
How to Get Free Astrite Without Codes
Codes give you a nice bonus, but they are not your only source of free Astrite. Here are the best steady methods to keep your pull count growing.
Daily Activities
Complete your daily quests every day. These give you up to 60 Astrite per day. Over a full patch cycle that adds up to a significant amount – enough for several pulls without spending anything.
Main Story and Side Quests
Story quests and companion quests reward large chunks of Astrite as one-time drops. If you are a newer player, working through the main story is one of the fastest ways to build your reserves. Check out our 3.6 patch notes for all the new quests added this version.
Limited-Time Events
Every patch brings several time-limited events that hand out Astrite and other rewards. Version 3.6 events include Resonance Sim Realm, The Strings Remember, Second Coming of Solaris: Coded Deception, If Dreams Still Reverberate, Wuthering Exploration, and the Gifts of Drifting Mist login event.
World Exploration
Opening supply chests, discovering Tidal Heritages, and unlocking Resonance Nexuses all give Astrite. If you haven’t explored every area yet, there are still passive rewards sitting out there waiting for you.
Tower of Adversity and Hazard Zone
Endgame challenge modes like the Tower of Adversity and Hazard Zone give Astrite as weekly or recurring rewards. These reset regularly, so keep clearing them every cycle.
What Are Wuthering Waves Redeem Codes?
Redeem codes are promotional codes released by Kuro Games, the developer of Wuthering Waves. When you enter a valid code in the game, you instantly receive free in-game rewards sent straight to your mailbox. These rewards usually include Astrite (the premium pull currency), Shell Credits (the basic currency), Resonance Potions (which refill Waveplates), Revival Inhalers, Energy Bags, and upgrade materials.
Codes are tied to specific events and have a limited-time window. They are not permanent giveaways – once a code expires or hits its usage limit, you can no longer claim its rewards. This is why it’s important to redeem them quickly.
Wuthering Waves 3.6 – What to Spend Your Astrite On
If you’ve just redeemed your codes and collected some Astrite, here is a quick breakdown of what is available in Version 3.6 right now.
Phase 1 Banners (Ended September 10, 2026)
Qingxiao debuted as the new 5-star Aero Sword Main DPS in Phase 1, joined by a Denia rerun. Phase 1 closed on September 10, 2026. If you missed Qingxiao, check out our Qingxiao guide and is Qingxiao worth pulling breakdown to plan ahead for her next rerun.
Phase 2 Banners (Active now – ends September 30, 2026)
Jingran is the second new 5-star in Version 3.6 and is live right now. He is a Fusion Broadblade Main DPS focused on HP-scaling and Heavy Attack mechanics. Phase 2 also brings reruns of Hiyuki (one of the strongest Glacio DPS characters in the game) and Mornye, a Tune-Break support. The 4-star rate-ups for Phase 2 are Mortefi, Aalto, and Yuanwu. All Phase 2 banners close on September 30, 2026 when Version 3.6 ends – there is limited time remaining.
Looking ahead, Version 3.7 is expected on October 1, 2026, introducing new 5-star Resonators Hsin and Suoming. If you plan to save for them, stop spending now and hold your Astrite.

Frequently Asked Questions About WuWa Redeem Codes
Is there a Wuthering Waves redemption website?
No. Unlike some other gacha games, Kuro Games has not built an official web portal for redeeming codes. All codes must be entered inside the game through the Terminal → Settings → Other Settings → Redemption Code path.
How many codes can I redeem?
You can redeem as many codes as are currently active. However, each individual code can only be used once per account. Once claimed, it won’t work a second time on the same account.
Why is my code not working?
The most common reasons are: the code has expired, you already claimed it, there is a typo, or your account hasn’t reached Union Level 2 yet. Try copy-pasting instead of typing manually and double-check that the code is still listed as active.
How often are new codes released?
The biggest batches come during Preview Special Broadcasts, which happen roughly every six weeks before each new version update. Outside of that, surprise codes may appear during events, collabs, or milestone celebrations – but there is no fixed schedule for those.
Do WuWa codes work on all platforms?
Most codes work across PC, iOS, and Android. Some may be platform-exclusive (for example, PC-specific codes). Always check the description when a new code is announced. You can also explore more characters across our guides – from Jinhsi and Changli to Verina and Shorekeeper – to make the most of your Astrite once you’ve redeemed your codes.
When is the next batch of codes?
The next batch is expected during the Version 3.7 Preview Special Broadcast, estimated for September 17–18, 2026 – approximately two weeks before Version 3.7 launches on October 1, 2026. Keep this page bookmarked and we will update it as soon as new codes are confirmed. You can also stay up to date with all current content by checking our 3.6 events guide.
