Why it matters
Crossing the 100 million player mark positions Where Winds Meet as one of the largest free-to-play action RPGs on the market just as Everstone Studio closes out its current content arc with a September finale.
The studio also confirmed that the final chapter of the latest content, Bujian Shan, launches in September for PC, Xbox Series X|S, cloud, and Game Pass.
The player milestone arrived inside a new gameplay trailer shown during the XBOX at gamescom 2026 Day 1 stream on August 26. The footage featured battles against enemies that shift forms, alongside a series of event scenes.
Everstone Studio's wuxia open world casts players as a wanderer from a nameless village who fights with weapons that include swords, spears, dual blades, rope darts, bows, fans, and umbrellas, using martial arts and stage tricks against strong foes across the free world of jianghu.
The game remains free-to-play and available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, iOS, and Android.
