World of Warships is a free-to-play multiplayer game developed and published by Wargaming. Players control warships of their choice and engage in various battle modes against other random players or bots on the server.

The game features three basic types of armament: naval artillery, torpedoes, and carrier-based aviation. In 2019, World of Warships: Legends was released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, offering a distinct gameplay experience with smaller map sizes and faster progression compared to the original version.

Gameplay involves team play, where players can join forces before or during a match to fight against other players (PvP) or bots (PvE). The victory is achieved through a points system. Players can progress up a ladder-style ranking system in each League from low ranks towards high ranks, with Rank 1 being the pinnacle of the ladder.

The game features various battle modes, including Standard battles, Dominazione, and Arms Race, which focus on improving ship characteristics by capturing key areas. Combat missions, challenges, campaigns, and collections provide additional goals, rewards, and meaningful progression for players during their time in the game.

World of Warships has expanded its reach through tie-in IPs with popular franchises such as Warhammer 40K, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek, and more. The game takes place on a limited number of specific maps, each depicting unique geographical layouts.

The original version was released in August 2011 for Microsoft Windows and later became available on MacOS via Mac Wrapper from CodeWeavers. In 2018, World of Warships Blitz was released for iOS and Android as a separate mobile game with similar mechanics but distinct ship models.
