How To Preload Where Winds Meet on PC and PS5

On PC, you will be able to preload Where Winds Meet directly through Steam or the official website. However, for the PS5 version, you will need to pre-order its special edition, which includes a few extra goodies for $15. If you don’t want to spend any money, you’ll have to wait till the launch date to play on the PS5, as preload is only available through that specific edition.
