This guide explains how to link your accounts in Where Winds Meet so that your character and progress are available on every platform you play on. The game supports cross progression, but it only works if your accounts are linked correctly. There are two ways to complete this process.

Important Warning Before You Create a Character
Before playing Where Winds Meet on a new platform, make sure you link your account first. This step is extremely important for cross progression. For example, if you already have an established character on PC and want to play on PlayStation 5, you must link your accounts before creating anything on the PlayStation 5 system. If you create a new PlayStation 5 character before linking, the game will treat it as a separate profile. When two different characters exist on two platforms, the system blocks account linking and cross progression cannot function.
Linking Accounts from the Main Menu
- When you open Where Winds Meet, the title screen displays a user centre icon.
- Select this icon to open the account management menu.
- Choose the link account option to begin the process.
- After selecting it, choose the platform you want to connect.
- Follow the on screen prompts and confirm your choice.
- Once completed, the platforms will share the same profile, and your progress will carry over between them.
Linking Accounts Inside the Game
The second method appears during the introduction sequence, before you create a new character.
- Open the settings menu.
- Select the tab labelled Other, then select User Centre, and finally choose Link Account.
This will allow you to connect your preferred platform before any character data is created. Both methods achieve the same result and you may choose whichever is easier for you.
Example Scenario
If your main character is on PC and you accidentally create a new character on PlayStation 5, the game will prevent you from linking your account. You will not be able to load your PC character on the console because the presence of a second character causes a conflict. The situation is still fixable, but it requires support assistance.
How to Fix Account Linking Issues
If you unintentionally created a character on the new platform, contact the official Where Winds Meet customer support team. Explain that you want to link your accounts and that you need the extra character removed. Support must delete the character on the platform you are newly connecting, not your main character. Once the unwanted character is removed, you can complete the linking process, and your original character will appear across platforms.
After linking your accounts in Where Winds Meet, your progress becomes available on every supported system. Always link before creating a new character on a different platform. If you need help or have questions, feel free to ask and keep this process in mind whenever you switch devices or plan to expand to another platform.
