The Where Winds Meet Xbox release in June 2026 completed the game's platform lineup, so the free-to-play wuxia RPG now runs on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and mobile. Better still, most of those versions play together and share progress, as long as your accounts are linked the right way before you start a new character.

This guide from gamemarket.gg covers every platform the game is on, what the Xbox version adds, the PC and mobile specs, how crossplay and cross-progression work, and how many players can team up.

Every Platform Where Winds Meet Is On

Where Winds Meet end card from the official Xbox Games Showcase 2026 trailer announcing availability on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud with Game Pass benefits — The Xbox launch added Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Xbox Cloud to a lineup that already covered PC, PS5 and mobile

Developed by Everstone Studio and published by NetEase Games, the game is free to play everywhere, with optional in-game purchases:

PC: Steam, the Epic Games Store, the official launcher and Xbox on PC. PC launched on November 14, 2025.
PlayStation 5: released on the same day as PC.
Android and iOS: launched globally on December 12, 2025.
Xbox Series X|S: added in June 2026, together with Xbox Cloud Gaming.

The game is not available on PS4, Nintendo Switch or Switch 2, and Steam Deck is still listed as not yet verified.

What the Where Winds Meet Xbox Version Adds

The Xbox version arrived on June 8, 2026 (UTC+8; the Xbox Store lists June 7). Beyond simply bringing the game to a new console, it comes with a few extras:

Game Pass access. The store lists the game under Game Pass Essential, Premium, Ultimate and PC Game Pass, although it is free to play either way.
Xbox Cloud Gaming, so the game can run on devices that could not install it.
Xbox Play Anywhere and handheld optimization.
Series X|S enhancements, including 4K, HDR10, ray tracing and 60 fps or more.
Keyboard and mouse support on console.

Like the other versions, it needs an online connection to play.

PC Requirements

PC players have the widest range of hardware options, from older desktops to high-end rigs:

Minimum: Windows 10/11 64-bit, Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, GTX 750 Ti, RX 550 or Arc A380, 8 GB RAM and 60 GB of storage (an SSD is recommended).
Recommended: Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 2070 SUPER, RX 6700 XT or Arc A750, 32 GB RAM and 100 GB on an SSD.

Newer NVIDIA cards can lean on DLSS for higher frame rates, and the DLSS 5 update shows how much it changes performance and visuals.

Mobile Requirements

The mobile version is demanding for a phone game, and the device tiers published at launch look like this:

Android minimum: Snapdragon 778G, Dimensity 1000L or Exynos 2100, with 8 GB of RAM or more.
Android recommended: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Dimensity 9200 or Exynos 2400 and above.
iOS minimum: iPhone 11 (A13), with iPhone 12 Pro supported and iPhone 14 Pro or later recommended.

Phones near the minimum can run the game, but long sessions and crowded areas are where the recommended tier makes a clear difference.

Crossplay and Cross-Progression

Where Winds Meet global mobile launch card for December 12, 2025 listing PS5, Steam, Epic Games Store, Windows, App Store and Google Play — The mobile launch joined PS5 and PC, and progress carries over between these platforms once the accounts are linked on the same server region

Crossplay is supported across PC, PS5, Xbox and mobile, with one limit: players have to be on the same server region to play together.

Cross-progression works the same way. Characters, items, martial arts, top-up purchases and quest progress all carry over between platforms once the accounts are linked, but progress does not move between server regions. Linking follows a few rules:

Link before creating a character on the new platform. Two accounts that both already have characters cannot be merged.
On PS5, Steam and Epic, the option sits under Settings > Other > User Center > Link Account. On the official launcher, it is on the title screen under User Center.
Mobile accounts sign in with Google on Android or Apple on iOS and can then be linked to an existing account.
Links cannot be undone manually, so a mistake requires contacting customer support.
If a character is created on an Xbox account first, that Xbox account can no longer be bound to another account that already has a character.

The Where Winds Meet Complete Guide covers how account progression works once everything is linked.

Solo, Co-op and PvP

Where Winds Meet is built to work both alone and with others. The story offers more than 150 hours of solo play, while up to four friends can explore together in seamless co-op. On top of that, there are guild wars, multiplayer dungeons, raids and competitive duels, and the endgame guide explains which of these modes drive gear progression.

Pick a Platform, Keep Your Progress

Because progress travels between platforms, the first choice is less permanent than it seems: many players start on PC or console and pick up dailies on mobile later. Linking accounts early is the one step worth getting right, and new players can follow the guide to starting strong in Qinghe and Kaifeng once they are set up. Everything for the game, from accounts to services, is also on the Where Winds Meet market on GameMarket.

If you would rather start with a strong character already built, you can browse Where Winds Meet Accounts, hand dailies and grinding to a verified player through Where Winds Meet Hourly Services, or clear endgame faster with Where Winds Meet Boosting.
