World of Warships: Legends is preparing to expand to PC via Steam, with a closed beta test scheduled from May 23 to 26.
Already available on consoles and mobile devices, the game is bringing its fast-paced naval battles to a new audience, featuring over 500 warships and more than 100 commanders at launch.
During the beta, players will be able to access Co-op, Arcade, and Standard battle types, along with features such as Tech Trees, campaigns, missions, commanders, and divisions. Additional content like crossplay, Bureau projects, Fleets, and other battle types is planned for the full release.
The PC version is also being optimized for Steam Deck compatibility, allowing aspiring captains to take their battles on the go. Interested players can sign up for the beta directly through the game's Steam page.
May Update for Consoles and Mobile
Meanwhile, the version already available on other platforms receives a content-rich update. The highlight is the arrival of the legendary-tier German battleship Preußen, which becomes available through a new six-week campaign. The legendary cruiser Hindenburg remains accessible as part of an ongoing parallel campaign.
The update also includes themed events such as the Hunt for Bismarck, offering the exclusive commander disguise "Unsinkable Sam" as the main reward. The Battle of Jutland event brings new Premium ships: the German battleship Moltke (Tier IV), the British battleship Indefatigable (Tier IV), and the German cruiser Leipzig (Tier VI).
Rounding out the update are new seasons of Brawl and Fleet Cup, inviting players to test their skills in competitive formats.
