Where Winds Meet update 1.8 introduces homestead management features. Strong demand for in-game purchases helped the title climb to the top of the Steam sales charts.
Following a recent release on Xbox Series X|S, the developers launched update 1.8. This patch focuses on building and maintaining a private estate.
According to the official announcement:
Players must complete the Quiet Shore quest and the main story chapter For Whom to Return to unlock the estate content.
High interest in microtransactions pushed the game into the top five best-selling projects on Steam shortly after the update. Demand has since shifted, placing the game 11th on the charts at the time of writing.
