When Does Where Winds Meet Update?

Update for Major Updates is Every 11-13 Weeks

Major updates typically occur every 11-13 weeks when following the pacing of the Chinese releases. This already includes all major seasons and events that will introduce a huge main story update and another region in the map.

Certain features, such as side quests, collectibles, martial arts skills, and minigames, will be included in these updates as well.

Smaller Patches Every Other Week

From the current global release, there has been a shorter time frame for small patch notes and updates. However, it can be assumed that typical patch releases are scheduled every Friday of the week, as this has been consistently implemented on the Chinese servers.
