Quick verdict

The most solid version of Where Winds Meet is the PC one, and on console the benchmark is PS5 Pro.

Best graphics experience PC past 200 FPS with an RTX 50 and Multi Frame Gen
Best console experience PS5 Pro two display modes and a higher render resolution
Only one with ray tracing PS5 Pro ray tracing for some reflections; PC cannot enable it
Stable 60 FPS on console Neither manages it neither PS5 nor PS5 Pro holds them, says the analysis

Why PC wins

On PC performance is good on high and ultra settings, and an RTX 50 clears 200 FPS using Multi Frame Gen. It also brings HDR, ultrawide, 120 FPS and upscaling through FSR 3.1, DLSS 4 and XeSS 2. We have no measurements of our own for this game yet, so we quote no per-card figures.

On console, PS5 Pro

On console the gap is set by PS5 Pro: it is the only one with two display modes, the only one that lets you turn on ray tracing for some reflections, and the one rendering at a higher resolution. PS5 gets a single mode.

Ray tracing in reverse

Here is the twist on the usual order: ray tracing lives on PS5 Pro and not on PC, where it cannot be enabled for now. A Natural mode has been announced for PC to raise fidelity, but it is not out yet.

Neither console manages to hold a stable 60 FPS.

Frequently asked questions about Where Winds Meet

Which platform does Where Winds Meet look best on?

PC for smoothness and options: free settings, HDR, ultrawide, 120 FPS and upscaling through FSR 3.1, DLSS 4 and XeSS 2. On ray tracing, though, PS5 Pro wins, as the only version where you can turn it on.

How many graphics modes does the PS5 version have?

Just one. PS5 Pro is the one with two.

Does it reach 60 FPS on console?

Not steadily. The analysis is blunt: neither PS5 nor PS5 Pro holds a stable 60 FPS.

Does it have ray tracing?

Only on PS5 Pro, and limited to some reflections. On PC it cannot be enabled for now, and PCGamingWiki does not confirm it for the PC version either.

What does PS5 Pro add over PS5?

Three things: a second display mode, ray tracing on some reflections, and a higher render resolution.

What graphics card do I need on PC?

We have no measurements of our own for this game, so we will not give a per-card figure. What the analysis says is that performance is quite good on high and ultra settings, and that an RTX 50 clears 200 FPS using Multi Frame Gen.

What is Natural mode?

A mode announced for the PC version that will raise graphical fidelity. It is not available yet.

Can I play it in ultrawide?

Yes on PC, along with widescreen resolutions, HDR and 120 FPS. The field of view is not adjustable.

How much does it cost?

Right now we have no live offers for this game, on PC or on PS5, so we cannot quote a price. As soon as one comes in it will show on each platform's page.
