Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
One market had a chart position on both sides of this cut. One sale in one country is an anecdote — read it next to the store-wide figures below.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 17: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Latest in each market: best BR #17, worst JP #92 · 12 markets collected
US · last 30 days
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 12.43/day in the week to Jul 30 → 18.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Идеальная игра для тех, кто хочет поставить своего перса на афк рыбалку, я так делаю и вам рекомендую!
Всё равно никто не прочитает, напишу что я гей
Played the game years ago and decided to come back to it. Turns out my account has been switched from EU servers to Turkish-Middle Eastern servers for no reason, with no option to manually change that. In addition to that both the launcher and ingame languages are set to Turkish, with no easy way to discern what buttons change it back to English. Had to contact support to try and change the server region back. They responded that they "don't have the technical capability to switch the region" and that I have to create a new account, play from their own launcher *and* purchase a new copy of the game.
Get a life, stop playing this game, and go touch some grass. Most of this game's playerbase could use a gym membership.
Это игра на выживание должно быть, а я 3 часа хожу, принеси это, поговори с тем, найди вещи, найди кабана, какие-то дурацкие и совершенно бесмысленные бытовые задачи вместо миссий. надоело.
Can't access the game and it won't send anything to my email to recover it.
**Nach über 1.000 Stunden – ein beeindruckendes MMO, das sich leider selbst im Weg steht** Nach aktuell über **1.000 Spielstunden** möchte ich meine Erfahrung mit Black Desert Online teilen. Ich habe das Spiel damals gekauft und bin inzwischen tief genug eingetaucht, um sowohl die Stärken als auch die großen Schwächen beurteilen zu können. Eines muss man Black Desert definitiv lassen: Der Umfang ist gewaltig. Es gibt eine riesige Welt, unzählige Systeme, viele Klassen, Life Skills, Grinding, Handel, Crafting, Bosse, PvP und jede Menge Möglichkeiten, seine Zeit zu verbringen. Rein vom angebotenen Content gehört Black Desert sicherlich zu den umfangreichsten MMOs, die es gibt. Gerade als Neueinsteiger wird man aber regelrecht erschlagen. Die ersten Stunden waren extrem überfordernd – und dieses Gefühl verschwindet leider auch nach hunderten Stunden nicht vollständig. Das größte Problem des Spiels ist für mich die enorme Unübersichtlichkeit. Viele Systeme sind unnötig kompliziert, schlecht erklärt oder teilweise überhaupt nicht selbsterklärend. Es gibt so viele Mechaniken, Quests und Funktionen, bei denen man ohne externe Hilfe kaum weiterkommt. Man ist dauerhaft auf Guides, Discord, YouTube oder erfahrene Spieler angewiesen. Natürlich lebt ein MMO von einer Community, aber ein Spiel sollte trotzdem in der Lage sein, seine eigenen Inhalte verständlich zu erklären. Genau das schafft Black Desert meiner Meinung nach viel zu selten. Selbst nach über 1.000 Stunden gibt es immer wieder Momente, in denen man vor einer Quest, einem Gegenstand oder einem System steht und sich fragt: „Was möchte das Spiel jetzt eigentlich von mir?“ Viele Inhalte wirken versteckt oder unnötig kompliziert zugänglich. Ein weiterer großer Kritikpunkt ist das Fortschrittssystem. Mir ist bewusst, dass Black Desert auf langfristigen Grind ausgelegt ist – das gehört zum Spielprinzip. Trotzdem überschreitet es für mich oft die Grenze zwischen motivierendem Langzeitfortschritt und Frust. Das Verstärkungssystem mit Failstacks, Cron-Steinen und dem Pity-System kann unglaublich demotivierend sein. Man investiert enorme Mengen an Zeit und Ressourcen, nur um am Ende minimalen Fortschritt zu sehen. Die kostenlosen Cron-Steine, die man gelegentlich bekommt, stehen in keinem Verhältnis zu den Mengen, die im späteren Spielverlauf tatsächlich benötigt werden. Auch das PvP hinterlässt für mich einen schwierigen Eindruck. Die Balance zwischen den Klassen wirkt dauerhaft problematisch. Obwohl regelmäßig Anpassungen erscheinen, fühlt es sich so an, als würde das Spiel nie wirklich einen stabilen Zustand erreichen. Manche Klassen dominieren, andere fallen zurück – ein Problem, das ich in dieser Form selten so stark in anderen MMOs erlebt habe. Mein Fazit nach über 1.000 Stunden: Black Desert Online hat eine beeindruckende Grundlage, eine wunderschöne Welt, ein großartiges Kampfsystem und unglaublich viel Content. Gleichzeitig fühlt es sich aber oft so an, als würde Quantität über Qualität stehen. Es gibt sehr viele Inhalte, aber viele davon wirken nicht ausreichend durchdacht oder unnötig kompliziert umgesetzt. Dem Spiel fehlt an vielen Stellen die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und die Liebe zum Detail, die aus einem großen MMO ein wirklich rundes Erlebnis machen. Rückblickend muss ich sagen: Hätte mir damals jemand genau erklärt, worauf ich mich einlasse, hätte ich wahrscheinlich nicht angefangen. Für Spieler, die extrem langfristigen Grind lieben, sich gerne stundenlang in Guides einlesen und kein Problem mit langsamen Fortschritt haben, kann Black Desert ein großartiges Spiel sein. Allen anderen würde ich persönlich eher davon abraten. Ein faszinierendes MMO mit riesigem Potenzial – aber leider auch mit sehr großen Schwächen.
I have played this game from nearly the initial launch. i have always loved it. there is a tremendous mainline and side quest content. I have enjoyed everything there is. I would have given this game 5 stars for years. However the newest update has allowed modern clothing into the game. This ruins the aesthetic of the game. I don't understand why it was done but the entire game is moving in that direction. to me this signals the end of what was black desert. there are also new aspects to the game that just do not fit with the original game content or the period of the game. Sadly it seems as if the content will be moving in that direction. I will leave it at not recommended but I doubt it will deserve more than that in the future.
