Where Winds Meet Mac version:
Explore this vast open world from your Mac!
Set in 10th‑century China, Where Winds Meet blends a huge solo adventure with optional online modes across 20+ regions and 10,000+ NPCs. Expect 150+ hours of narrative exploration, then open your world to friends when you’re ready.
Builds are driven by weapons and martial arts rather than fixed classes. Master Spear, Sword, Dual Blades, Glaive, Umbrella, Fans, and more, then mix Internal Arts for custom playstyles.
Travel provinces shaped by history and choice. Crowds feel alive, and selected AI‑enhanced NPCs support free‑form conversations that can affect relationships and rewards.
Play fully solo, or switch on co‑op and step into Jianghu activities: dungeons, raids, PvP, guilds, and more. It’s an RPG/MMO hybrid single‑player at heart with MMO‑like options when you want them.
Cross‑play co‑op on Mac: squad up with PS5 and PC friends
At global launch, Where Winds Meet offers full cross‑play and cross‑progression between PS5 and PC. That means when you run the Windows version on your Mac via Shadow PC, you can seamlessly party with friends on PS5 or on any PC storefront and keep your progress in one account. No Xbox version exists at launch, so PS5↔PC is the cross‑platform path today.
