Where Winds Meet has surpassed 15 million players within its first month of its worldwide launch.

The news was shared on the game's official X account, thanking the community for embracing the title's shared journey through the Jianghu. 

The player surge follows a staggered launch that began with PC and PlayStation 5 in November, before expanding onto mobile platforms on December 12th. Opening the game up to the mobile playerbase appears to have significantly broadened its reach.

Cross-platform play

The mobile release has already demonstrated traction after generating more than $130 million on the Chinese App Store alone. According to AppMagic estimates, the game earned approximately $557,000 in overseas revenue within its first three days of global mobile availability.

A contributing factor to supporting player growth is Where Winds Meet’s support for cross-play and cross-progression, allowing players to move between PC, console and mobile versions without losing progress. 

Separately, developer Everstone Studio recently revealed a game trailer at The Game Awards showing The Imperial Palace, a new major content update planned for 2026.
