Key Points:
- Crimson Desert has sold over 6 million copies within three months of its 2026 release, generating significant profits that allowed publisher Pearl Abyss to award employees a $3,400 bonus each.
- Since launch, Pearl Abyss has actively worked on improving the game and addressing major issues, contributing to a 419% increase in the publisher's revenue.
- To celebrate the release of the delayed Charting the Unknown DLC, Pearl Abyss is offering a free trial of the first five hours of Crimson Desert Enhanced on Xbox and PlayStation from October 29 to January 6.
- The free trial is available to PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe subscribers on PS5 and all Xbox players regardless of subscription status, but only covers the base game, not the new DLC content.
- Progress made during the trial carries over to the full game if purchased, but the five-hour trial timer is strict and cannot be reset or restarted on another save.
