The Chinese release of the mobile version of Where Winds Meet took place on January 9, 2025. According to data from the analytics service AppMagic, by January 11, the game's net revenue from IAP exceeded $1.4 million with 1.6 million downloads. This only accounts for revenue from the App Store. Revenue from Android stores in China is not tracked by AppMagic, and taking that into account, the total amount should be even higher.
