Everstone Studio has surprise-launched Where Winds Meet for Xbox Series, while the game is also now available for PC through the Microsoft Store. Alongside the new platform release, the developer also shared an early look at the upcoming third major expansion, Hidden Mountain.

Where Winds Meet has expanded to another platform: Everstone Studio’s free-to-play open-world wuxia action RPG is now available on Xbox Series consoles, as well as on PC through the Microsoft Store. The game previously launched for PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, iOS, and Android, so the Xbox release further widens the audience able to step into its martial arts vision of 10th-century China.

The core idea remains the same: players forge their own legend across a vast, seamless landscape. Where Winds Meet offers distinctive martial arts styles, unique weapons, solo play, cooperative adventures, and player-versus-player action, while its wuxia identity is not merely decorative. It shapes the movement, combat, and rhythm of exploration. The Xbox Series release is therefore not a separate side version, but a broader console expansion for an already active game.

Hidden Mountain Opens a New Vertical World

Alongside the Xbox launch, Everstone Studio also shared a sneak peek at the third major expansion, Hidden Mountain. Following the success of the previous Hexi and Imperial Palace expansions, this new content is meant to offer players a different kind of experience again. Its central addition is a massive, multi-layered 3D vertical landscape, expanding open-world exploration with hidden surprises, deep secrets, and traversal challenges placed across different elevations.

The treacherous peaks will also introduce the secretive Mohist Sect. This legendary faction brings new mysteries, advanced martial arts mechanics, unique gameplay loops, and major narrative twists to the ongoing wuxia epic. Another major addition is the Hand Guard Discipline, a fast-paced martial art that players have long anticipated. This close-quarters style is built around rapid pursuits, relentless counter-attacks when enemies make mistakes, and a single devastating strike powered by accumulated inner will.

The Xbox Version Is Built for the Living Room

The Xbox Series debut is not being treated as a simple port. According to Everstone Studio, Where Winds Meet has received extensive hardware optimization for a console and living room experience. The game supports Smart Delivery, features an overhauled UI, and includes enlarged text scaling for couch-friendly readability. It also supports full HDR, AMD FSR 2, 4K upscaling on Xbox Series X, 2K upscaling on Xbox Series S, and deeper memory optimizations intended to deliver stable, fluid frame rates during fast exploration and intense sword clashes.

The console launch is also tied to a custom-designed Xbox Wireless Controller, styled around one of the game’s most emotionally resonant and iconic images while reflecting the elegant but lethal aesthetics of the wuxia universe. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will receive a starter pack as well: Phase 1 runs from June 7 to July 23 PT and includes 450 Echo Jade, 90,000 Coins, and progression items such as Attune Stones, Lingering Melodies, and Pillow Pills.

Where Winds Meet has not only reached a new platform, then, but has also started setting up its next major content chapter. The Xbox Series release brings the game to players who were previously left outside this open wuxia world, while Hidden Mountain suggests Everstone Studio is expanding the adventure not only across the map, but upward, into a much more vertical kind of exploration.
