NetEase’s new wuxia RPG, Where Winds Meet, has officially crossed the 15 million player milestone alongside its mobile launch.

The development team behind Where Winds Meet announced on their official X account on the 14th that the game has surpassed 15 million cumulative players. This achievement comes just one month after launch, following a steady growth trend that saw the game hit 9 million players within its first two weeks.

Released on November 15, Where Winds Meet is an open-world wuxia RPG set during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The story follows a protagonist on a journey to find a benefactor who suddenly disappeared. The game features parry-centric combat utilizing various weapons such as swords, spears, dual blades, and umbrellas, along with a high-freedom open world and an AI system that reacts dynamically to player choices.

Based on this performance, Where Winds Meet peaked at over 250,000 concurrent players on Steam and is maintaining around 140,000 as of December 15. User reviews on Steam remain "Very Positive" (84,457 participants, 88% positive), with praise including, "It's a free game with almost no P2W (Pay-to-Win) elements," "There are many deep side quests beyond the main story," "The parry combat feels excellent," and "The speed of development in Chinese games is frightening."

Meanwhile, Where Winds Meet launched its mobile version on the 12th, following its PC and PS5 releases. While providing the same content as the PC and console versions, the graphics, UI, and controls have been optimized for the mobile environment. Additionally, it supports cross-platform play, allowing users to enjoy multiplayer regardless of their device.
