Where Winds Meet developer Everstone Studio announced the open-world RPG hit 2 million players within just 24 hours of its global launch. This is a massive milestone, especially since the game launched alongside heavy competition like Battlefield 6.
To celebrate, the developers are handing out free gifts. However, they are also addressing serious player feedback regarding the game’s technical state.

Where Winds Meet Roadmap: Fixing the “Rough Edges”
The launch numbers are impressive, but the experience hasn’t been seamless. Critics and players have noted significant friction. IGN recently gave the game a 6/10, describing it as an “amusement park where every ride is running at half speed”. Reviews highlighted specific frustrations with “awful English localisation” and technical bugs.
Everstone is listening. A new blog post outlines their immediate roadmap to fix these exact problems:
- Localisation: The team is optimising translation and multilingual support to address the confusing dialogue.
- Solo Mode Lag: A fix for the latency issues in Solo Mode is scheduled for a mid-December update.
- PS5 Performance: Console players can expect improved frame rates, stability, and visual quality.
- Steam Deck: Compatibility updates are a priority and will roll out over the next two months.
- Quality of Life: The studio is also refining the UI, beginner tutorial, and puzzle clues.
A Strong Foundation
Despite the flaws, the game is clearly resonating with a global audience. It had previously reached 15 million players in China. The unique Wuxia setting and deep character customisation, where players can share presets via codes, have set it apart from standard open-world RPGs.
The developers seem committed to polishing the experience. With premium currency in hand and a clear plan for updates, Where Winds Meet is fighting to keep its massive momentum going.
