The game entered the top 5 bestsellers on Steam thanks to microtransactions, gathering 198,000 concurrent players at its peak. According to Gamalytic, almost 3.5 million people have played it on PC alone.
And with the PS5 version taken into account, the numbers are significantly higher.
At the time of publication, the average rating on Steam is 84% positive reviews. Players praise the huge and beautiful world, the sea of activities, microtransactions without a "pay-to-win" system, and the combat component. The main complaint from Russian-speaking players is the lack of localization.
Interestingly, the success of Where Winds Meet was achieved despite not very high ratings from critics: on Metacritic, the average score is 7/10. Many editorial offices have not yet had time to thoroughly test the novelty, so the review statistics are still being formed.
