Where Winds Meet is a highly ambitious open-world RPG from Everstone Studio, offering both a narrative-driven single-player experience and a deep multiplayer component with guild wars, dungeons, and raids. The game caters to fans of both solo and online gameplay, all set within a rich Wuxia world.
Can You Play Offline?
No, Where Winds Meet requires an online connection at all times and does not have an offline mode. Even if you only wish to play the single-player content, a connection to the game’s servers is mandatory. This applies to all platforms, including Steam, the official client, and PS5.
Because the game is free-to-play and includes in-game purchases, a constant online connection ensures proper synchronization and access to content. On PlayStation, a PlayStation Plus subscription is not required, and the PlayStation Store page confirms this.
Cross-Progression and Crossplay
Where Winds Meet supports cross-progression between PC and PS5, allowing players to continue their progress on either platform by logging in with the same account.
The game also features crossplay, so you can play with friends regardless of whether they’re on PC or PS5.
Servers and Connectivity
Everstone Studio has set up a unified game world with automatic connections to local servers to reduce latency. While you can play with friends from other regions, the optimal experience comes from playing on your local server.
Preloading for Where Winds Meet will be available soon, ahead of the official release. PC players should also check the full system requirements to ensure smooth performance.
Although the game includes a full single-player mode, it would have been ideal to also offer a dedicated offline mode for those who prefer playing without an internet connection.
