The newest Where Winds Meet code is 1015QINGZHOU, tied to the Version 2.3 Qingzhou update on October 15. Two code trackers list it as active, and one of them says it was printed on the official X account’s Qingzhou roadmap. Five more codes from August and September are also listed as active by two trackers each. We found no newer code in NetEase’s website news, its Steam announcements or its X posts from October 21 to 31. Its last official code notice, from May, covered codes that expired on May 31.
Everything on this page was checked on November 1, 2026 at 08:25 UTC against the official website news, the official Steam announcements, the official X account and eight code trackers. We have not redeemed these codes ourselves, so each one carries a status and a source.
Table of Contents
Quick answer
- Best bet: 1015QINGZHOU (150 Echo Jade, 20,000 Coins, 1 Resonating Melody, as listed).
- Also worth trying: HMCHAP3FINALE, WWMR3DD1T09, 0916HMFINALE, HM0820 and WWM20261114. Each is listed active by two dated trackers, but none of them appears in an official post we could read.
- Expired for sure: WWMQC1 to WWMQC30. The official deadline was May 31, 23:59 (UTC+8).
- Where to redeem: Menu, then Settings (gear icon), then the Other tab, then Exchange Code. Rewards arrive in your in-game mail.
- Face codes are not redeem codes. Character “codes” (ART… strings or QR cards) go into the character creator’s import option, not the Exchange Code box.
- Next chance for a new code: the 1st Anniversary broadcast on November 2 at 14:00 PT (22:00 UTC) and the Anniversary Version on November 13.
Where Winds Meet codes (November 2026)
A code makes this table only if it is on the active list of at least two code trackers updated in October 2026: GIGA (updated October 16) and WhereWindsMeetGame.org, a fan site (updated October 12). Rewards are as GIGA lists them. Codes are case-sensitive, so copy them rather than typing them.
| Code | Reward (as listed) | Status (Nov 1, 08:25 UTC) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1015QINGZHOU | 150 Echo Jade, 20,000 Coins, 1 Resonating Melody | Listed active, no end date | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org (reports it from the official X roadmap, October 11) |
| HMCHAP3FINALE | 50 Echo Jade, 20,000 Coins, 2 Inner Way Note: Chest, 2 Oscillating Jade | Listed active, unofficial | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org |
| WWMR3DD1T09 | 50 Echo Jade, 2,000 Coins, 1 Inner Way Note: Chest, 2 Oscillating Jade | Listed active, unofficial | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org |
| 0916HMFINALE | 150 Echo Jade, 20,000 Coins, 1 Resonating Melody | Listed active, unofficial | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org |
| HM0820 | 150 Echo Jade, 20,000 Coins, 1 Resonating Melody | Listed active, unofficial | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org |
| WWM20261114 | 10 Echo Jade, 10,000 Coins, 1 Nameplate (Soft Echoes) | Listed active, unofficial | GIGA, WhereWindsMeetGame.org |
On 1015QINGZHOU: we read the official X timeline from October 21 to October 31 and found no code post, and we could not open the October 11 roadmap image ourselves. Two separate trackers agree on the code, though, and the reward icons the fan site describes (coins, a stringed instrument, a green jade ring) fit GIGA’s reward list. The Qingzhou update it belongs to went live on October 15, according to the official Steam announcement. The Qingzhou Opening Month event runs until November 14 at 4:59 (UTC+8), which is November 13 at 20:59 UTC. The code has no published end date, so redeem it soon rather than late.
The HM codes (HMCHAP3FINALE, 0916HMFINALE, HM0820) line up with the Hidden Mountain expansion’s finale in September and its August content. That’s an inference from the names and dates, not something NetEase has said.

Disputed codes: listed by one tracker or dropped by others
The trackers disagree on these. Try them if you like, but don’t expect much.
| Code | What the trackers say |
|---|---|
| QZ1015, WWMXATM3 | Only GIGA lists them (October 16). No second source. |
| LASTSUNSET, NEVERLOOKBACK | Listed by WhereWindsMeetGame.org and one older list each (Clashiverse, October 9; GamingDeputy, October 1). GIGA dropped them from its October 16 list. |
| HOMESTEAD0625 | The Version 1.8 (June 25) code. Mein-MMO listed it in July, and WhereWindsMeetGame.org still says “may still work”. GIGA no longer lists it. |
| PALACE0528, QINCHUAN0430, LIANGZHOU0402, HEXI0306 | Older update codes. Pocket Gamer (October 18) still calls PALACE0528 and QINCHUAN0430 active, while WhereWindsMeetGame.org rates PALACE0528 “probably expired”. |
| Ten-character strings (MN6MXF8QPE, DK84X3H4DK and about 20 more) | Pocket Gamer, Beebom (October 1) and GIGA list them. Strings like these have been shared by creators on X as one-off “CD Keys”, which usually work once in total, so we left them out of the main table. |
Expired Where Winds Meet codes
- WWMQC1 to WWMQC30: NetEase reopened these creator codes after a leak, then set a deadline of May 31, 23:59 (UTC+8). That’s in its official Exchange Code Announcement of May 3. Pocket Gamer (October 18) and Mobi.gg (September 23) still list all 30 as active. They aren’t.
- Launch codes: WWMGO1114, WWMGO1115, WWM251115, WWMGLtiktok, WWMGLyoutube, YYSLSTIB, DEVLOG2601 and GOOSENEWS. GIGA lists all eight as expired (as of September 2026), and Dexerto marked the first five expired back in April.
How to redeem Where Winds Meet codes on PC, PS5 and mobile
NetEase hasn’t published redeem instructions, so these steps come from trackers that agree on the menu path: Dexerto, PCGamesN, GIGA and Pocket Gamer.
- Finish the opening tutorial first. The Exchange Code option only opens after the intro and its first boss fight, according to WhereWindsMeetGame.org and Mobi.gg.
- Open the main menu (Esc on PC).
- Select Settings, the gear icon on the right.
- Go to the last tab, Other. Under Account Info, select Exchange Code.
- Paste the code and confirm.
- Open your mailbox (envelope icon) and claim the rewards. PCGamesN says a restart helps if the mail doesn’t show up.
| Platform | Redeem in game? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Steam, Epic, Xbox app) | Yes | Same path as above. The menu opens with Esc. |
| PS5 | Yes, per Mein-MMO | Mein-MMO says codes work on PC, PS5, iOS and Android. The menu path is the same Settings, Other, Exchange Code. |
| iOS and Android | Yes | Pocket Gamer says the method is the same on mobile and PC. Mobi.gg calls the box “Redemption Code”. |
| Xbox Series X|S | Not confirmed | The game has been on Xbox since June (Xbox Wire), but no source we read describes redeeming on Xbox. Check the same Settings, Other tab. |
Each code works once per account. The official May notice says so for the WWMQC batch, and trackers report the same for the rest. Where Winds Meet is free to play on all of these platforms. Its Steam page lists Everstone Studio as developer and NetEase Games as publisher.
The next likely code drop is the Anniversary Version on November 13, which adds the Hutuo River campaign. Image: Everstone Studio / NetEase Games
Where Winds Meet face codes are not redeem codes
A lot of “Where Winds Meet codes” searches are really about character faces. Those are customization data, not rewards. They come as text strings that start with “ART” (older shares look like “wwm_facedata_…”), or as QR cards. You load them with Import Customization Data in the character creator, or later from the Appearance menu. AllThings.How and WhereWindsMeetGame.org’s face code page (updated October 26) both say so. A face code typed into the Exchange Code box won’t work, and it gives no Echo Jade, Coins or items.
When are new Where Winds Meet codes coming?
Most major updates this year have come with a code named after their date, going by the trackers’ lists:
| Update (Steam announcement date) | Code listed by trackers |
|---|---|
| Version 1.4, March 6 | HEXI0306 |
| Version 1.5, April 1 | LIANGZHOU0402 |
| Version 1.6, April 30 | QINCHUAN0430 |
| Version 1.7, May 27 | PALACE0528 |
| Version 1.8, June 24 | HOMESTEAD0625 |
| Version 2.3, October 15 | 1015QINGZHOU |
The next two dates to watch come from the official X account. The 1st Anniversary Special Broadcast is on November 2 at 14:00 PT (17:00 ET, 22:00 UTC) on YouTube, Twitch, X and TikTok. The Anniversary Version with the new Hutuo River campaign arrives on November 13. NetEase hasn’t promised a code for either, but if the pattern holds, the November 13 update is the likeliest time for one. We’ll add any new code here with its source and check time.
Two other free-reward routes are official. Twitch Drops came back with Version 2.3: link your game account to Twitch, then watch Where Winds Meet streams. The Beginner Perks rewards arrived on October 27, after a one-day delay announced on X.
FAQ
Are there any active Where Winds Meet codes right now?
Probably. 1015QINGZHOU, from the October 15 Qingzhou update, is the best bet, and five more codes are listed active by two trackers. None of them has an official end date, and NetEase hasn’t confirmed any of them on its website or Steam page.
Why does Where Winds Meet say my code is invalid?
Usually for one of three reasons. The code has expired (WWMQC1-30 ended May 31), you already claimed it on this account, or a letter is wrong. WWMGO1114 is also seen written with a zero, and tf33hxjmjc is lowercase. Copy and paste the code instead of typing it.
Do Where Winds Meet codes work on PS5 and mobile?
Trackers say yes. Mein-MMO lists PC, PS5, iOS and Android, and Pocket Gamer says the mobile steps match PC. No source we read covers Xbox.
Where do I put a Where Winds Meet face code?
Use Import Customization Data in the character creator or the Appearance menu, not the Exchange Code box. Face codes only change your character’s appearance.
More codes we track: Once Human codes (also published by NetEase) and Wuthering Waves codes. Looking for more free PC games? See our best free games on Steam. Clocks changed this weekend, so check our game reset times after daylight saving. NetEase says Where Winds Meet’s Guild War times won’t shift with daylight saving in Europe and the Americas, so your local start time may move by an hour.
