Where Winds Meet is one of the most anticipated open-world martial arts games on iOS. Featuring high-quality graphics, authentic Wuxia movement mechanics, and a massive open-world map, the game is currently available for pre-sale in select regions – including the US App Store.
Therefore, if you are in Vietnam or a region where the game is not displayed, you need to change your App Store region to the US or use a US Apple ID to download it.
I. Things to know before changing your App Store region
To successfully change your region, you need to ensure the following conditions are met:
1. No subscription packages are currently active.
- If you're using iCloud+, Apple Music, or any subscription app that automatically renews, you must cancel or wait until the cycle ends.
2. The Apple ID account has no remaining balance.
- The App Store does not allow changing regions while you still have credit in your wallet.
3. Leave the Family Sharing group (if you have one).
- If your account is in a shared group, you must leave the group before changing regions.
4. Prepare your US address.
- You can use any valid address in the United States (e.g., California or New York).
5. Payment methods
- You can use 'None' if the App Store allows it (in many cases, Apple requires a US payment method).
- Alternatively, you can use an Apple Gift Card US (the most common method).
- Vietnamese bank cards cannot be used for payments in the United States.
