NetEase confidently feels the free-to-play market, regularly delivering high-profile releases and only occasionally making mistakes in forecasts. Now we are talking about Where Winds Meet — an exclusive for PlayStation 5 and PC.
The game shows how the bet on high quality and transparent microtransactions pays off, without intrusive attempts to squeeze more money out of users.
After the release, the project instantly turned into a big success. The authors revealed statistics that directly demonstrate: Genshin Impact risks losing part of its audience, because many may switch to the NetEase game. Below are the indicators that the studio shares officially.
- 2 million players in the first 24 hours
