For reaching 10 million pre-registrations, players will be rewarded at launch. The pre-registration rewards will only be gifted after completing the main quest ‘Homecoming,’ and the rewards are as follows:
- Pre-Registration Gift 1 – 1,000,000
- Pre-Registration Gift 2 – 3,000,000
- Patron of Winds Title Card – 5,000,000

How to Preload Where Winds Meet
You will be able to preload Where Winds Meet from the PSN store for PS5, as well as Steam for PC. There is also the option of the game’s own official launcher. The game is available on the Epic Games Store for PC, too, but there’s no mention of the ability to preload for EGS in the Twitter announcement.
Although you do not need to pre-order the game to preload or play, there is a premium version available for £14.99/$14.99. This comes with the following pre-order bonuses (via PSN store):
- In-game Cosmetic Pack x1: Select one of three outfit sets
- In-game Player Name Card: Astral Trail Name Card Background x1
- In-game Common Currency: Coin x10,000
- In-game Draw Item: Lingering Melody x2
As for file size, the game is whopping 108 GB on PS5. For PC, there’s Lite at 68GB, Standard at 100 GB, and Ultimate at 120 GB.
The PlayStation Blog previews Where Winds Meet as an epic that “drops you into China’s Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a time of upheaval, change, and opportunity”. Its open-world is massive, and it is “filled with branching stories, side quests, and choices that matter”.
It’s important to point out that, while there is single-player and multiplayer, the game is online only. This means you constantly need an internet connection to play, even if you’re opting for single-player.
Where Winds Meet was first announced for PS5 during the May 2024 State of Play, so we’ve been waiting over a year for the game to drop. Fortunately, we don’t have too much longer to wait as it’s releasing on November 14th.
