World of Warships is a naval warfare-themed free-to-play multiplayer online game developed and published by Wargaming.[1] Players control warships of choice and can battle other random players on the server, play cooperative battles against bots, or participate in an advanced player versus environment (PvE) battle mode. For the most skilled players, two seasonal competitive modes are also available.
The game's free-to-play structure is of the "freemium" type, and significant progress can be made without purchasing anything, but access to higher levels of play and additional warships becomes progressively more difficult without financial investment.
World of Warships was originally released for Microsoft Windows in 2015. The PC version was followed by the iOS and Android mobile games titled World of Warships Blitz in 2018. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One console versions, titled World of Warships: Legends, followed in 2019 and were released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in April 2021 and a mobile version was soft launched in May 2023.
