A success that doesn’t stop

After a great start, Crimson Desert has continued to sell well.

This is an excellent result and is likely to be surpassed soon with the achievement of new milestones, with the barrier of 6 million copies getting closer. The game, considering its success, will also be supported with new content that could attract more players.

We also remember that the game could potentially come to Switch 2, reaching a new platform that could further contribute to the growth of sold copies. It was noted that the game had already surpassed $200 million in revenue by early April. Meanwhile, Crimson Desert is still very much played on Steam, with more than 100,000 concurrent users daily active on Valve's platform.
