About

Discover an enhanced Crimson Desert, featuring new cutscenes and story moments, plus expanded voice-over and language support.
Begin the adventure loved by millions, refined since launch with a wealth of updates, including new content, mounts, pets, customization options, various quality-of-life improvements, and more.
On the continent of Pywel, the rival factions of Pailune maintained a tense balance. At Kliff's side stood his steadfast Greymane comrades, but a devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent.
Kliff—having lost his family in all but name—is determined to reunite with the survivors and rebuild the faction.
But on a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff will meet those who seek to upend the very order of the continent and face a mission unlike any he has ever known.

Welcome to Pywel.
Here you'll find stretches of natural beauty and wilderness—from green plains and woods to arid deserts and rugged mountains—alongside bustling cities and quiet hamlets inhabited by residents from all walks of life. Between destinations, you will come across landmarks, ancient ruins, hidden treasures, and other points of interest that will draw your curisoity to wander. Your journey will also inevitably take you skyward to the mysterious realm known as the Abyss, where a mystical imbalance endangering the world must be restored.
The world is yours to explore as you will and there are many paths for you to uncover.
Experience the continent's stories and tales through quests, encounters, challenges, and battles. Roam the lands on various mounts from horses to even a dragon and mechs, and scale cliffsides and walls which you can leap from to glide.
The story of Crimson Desert centers on Kliff. But as his tale unfolds, 2 new playable characters—Oongka and Damiane—will come to join your journey. As these characters become available, you will be able to freely explore Pywel and undertake many quests outside the main story with them. Each character has their own combat style, as well as unique skills and weapons, allowing you to experience the world and its battles in different ways.

On the unforgiving battlefields of Crimson Desert, there is no single path to victory.
Grow your arsenal of skills, weapons, and equipment—and decide how you want to use them. Powerful weapon skills can be paired with hard-hitting bare-hand hits and kicks, as well as a wide range of grapples to create seamless chains of attacks. Acquire weapons like swords, spears, greatswords, axes, dual wields, various ranged weapons, and more, and unleash powerful abilities and elemental enhancements through lethal combinations. Stay mobile and relentless with slides, dodges, counters, and swings that flow directly into your next attack. With every strike and move, forge your own way in a world where a split second can decide your fate in fast-paced, visceral battles.
From ruthless warriors to fearsome beasts, there are those in Pywel who will seek your downfall. Encounter a diverse array of challenging enemies and bosses in brutal one-on-one duels, large-scale battle clashes, and quick skirmishes, and prevail against the threats that stand in your way.

Pywel isn't just a continent of battles and exploration. It's a world where many of the smaller moments also shape your journey and make up your day-to-day life.
Upgrade the Greymane camp, the starting point in the path to reclaiming the Greymanes' lost homeland of Pailune. Gather resources, cook, fish, hunt, and partake in the other various activities of Pywel for stat replenishment, making your equipment stronger, and more. Along the way, enjoy some leisure time by playing minigames with the locals.
And shaping your daily life also extends to customization. Adjust hairstyles, tattoos, outfits, and more using dyes you brew or pick up along your journey.

Absolute masterpiece!
OVERVIEW/FIRST IMPRESSIONS: After 80 hours in this game I can confirm - it's a slow burner. Once it gets going, however, you can't put it down. I know everyone is saying that but, believe me, they aren't just saying it. Was it exactly what I was expecting? Absolutely not. It clearly draws a lot of inspiration from other games such as Red Dead 2 and Elden Ring, but builds on these ideas and mechanics to keep it unique and fresh. Specifically with its bounty hunting system, horse riding mechanics, fishing-(indicative of RDR2), boss fights, combat system, questing style, weapon and armour crafting/upgrading -(more traditional RPG-esque) and the like, it expands on these ideas to deliver something different - and in a lot of ways better. It is also full of new and interesting concepts that I found kept the game from being anything like a 'copycat' of those games. It is MASSIVE, both in map size and content, which is either good or bad depending on what type of gamer you are, and they are still very active in patches and in-game updates with new content being added regularly. They are still taking on player feedback to improve the game with every update so bare that in mind if anything feels 'unfinished' to you. PUZZLES/EXPLORATION: The puzzles in this game are fun and engaging, with most of them being physics based that require you to take advantage of the games existing mechanics to complete. Expect to spend a bit of time on google and reddit if you are a completion-ist (like me) since some of the challenges, puzzle locations, armour sets etc. are quite hard to find by just playing the game naturally and can be quite out of the way. Not particularly hard to do but stumbling across them is often times unlikely and requires some online help - Something I'm not used to as someone who plays a lot of these kinds of games but like I said this game is pretty massive and it only really affects the completion of certain armour sets, finding collectibles, specific characters etc. Make sure you are prepared for that going into the early game, there is very little guidance/"yellow-paint" when it comes to this side of the game, (or just the game in general) which is a positive in my book, but can lead to a lot of "how to find xyz" and "___Location" searches if you're someone who likes to find everything. WORLD DESIGN/VISUALS: In a word - Flawless. I was immediately taken aback by the stunning views and landscapes, backed up by impressive graphics and load distances. I played with max settings, ray tracing turned off and it runs buttery smooth and looks great. There are many different biomes: Desert, grassland, snow-capped mountains etc. each with there own unique variety of animals, plants and other wildlife. In a hot savanna? Expect to see gazelles, elephants and hyenas. In rolling green fields and countryside? Probably gonna see some sheep, cows and the odd racoon. You can tame pets, as well as ride most larger animals as mounts, and there are many different dog and cat breeds to choose from, and yes you can have several at one time (and you CAN pet the dog). GAMEPLAY/MECHANICS: Without getting too technical, the amount of different mechanics and features in this game can almost be overwhelming. There is a goods trading system that literally involves delivering trade goods on a wagon; a farming and cultivation system with real time planting, watering, fertilisation and harvesting; ranching, fishing, hunting, alchemy, cooking, arm wrestling, a weird version of poker (gambling), archery contests, freaking rock, paper, scissors - the list goes on. It really is quite difficult to get bored in this game. COMBAT: Solid, all round combat system, with a decent variety of combat styles that get even more varied when the other playable characters are introduced. Can seem a bit easy/basic at first but the game is designed to have you fight tons of enemies at once so it does balance out as the game progresses. I am finding the 'blinding flash' timed stun ability to be a bit hard to gauge so I don't really use it but its an interesting concept nonetheless. CONCLUSION: To make a long story short, if you like huge, stunning worlds with diverse flora and fauna, in depth mechanics and tons of exploration opportunities - this game is for you. Just remember, 20 hours doesn't do this game justice so set aside a weekend or two to fully immerse yourself and get the most out of the experience.

Every market we collect.
Same day: best KR #2, worst UK #22 · 14 markets collected
US · last 30 days
Of the 13 markets with a position on both sides, 12 climbed and 1 fell. The same sale, the same day, opposite directions — which is why nothing here is averaged into a single arrow, and why one sale is not a trend.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · United States has just 10 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 1,765 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

잼있어요~~~ 어려움
Se Crimson Desert fosse uma pessoa, seria aquele amigo que promete “só uma partidinha” e quando você percebe já são 4 da manhã, você não jantou, não respondeu ninguém e ainda tá emocionalmente envolvido com personagens fictícios. O jogo é simplesmente absurdo de bonito. Tem momentos que eu parei no meio da missão só pra olhar o cenário, respirar fundo e pensar: “ok, agora eu entendi porque meu PC está pedindo socorro”. A ambientação é tão viva que dá vontade de se mudar pra lá… até lembrar que provavelmente você morreria em 5 minutos. O combate é uma mistura de “me sinto um guerreiro lendário” com “por que eu estou rolando no chão igual um pão francês caindo da mesa?”. É desafiador na medida certa: você apanha, aprende, apanha de novo e depois finge que sempre soube jogar. A história? Te puxa sem pedir licença. Quando você vê, já está tomando decisões morais importantes como se estivesse resolvendo sua própria vida, só que com espada na mão e muito mais drama. Resumo sincero: comecei querendo testar, fiquei viciado, e agora estou emocionalmente dependente de um jogo que claramente não paga minhas contas, mas ocupa todo meu tempo. Recomendo? Com certeza. Mas aviso: sua vida social vai entrar em modo off por tempo indeterminado.
Muy buen juego, te da horas de diversion y andar encontrando los secretos del mundo es de lo mas interesante no se hace pesado a pesar que vayas comenzando o tengas un avance alto
me encanta
这是我买的第一个游戏真的巨好玩
j'adore il est magnifique . par contre pour certaine enigme heureusement qui y a des tuto sur internet
Crimson Desert has the potential to become one of the best action RPGs of this generation. The world, exploration, combat system, graphics, soundtrack, and overall atmosphere are absolutely stunning. It is an incredibly fun game with enormous potential. However, the PC version still needs significant optimization and polish. Issues I encountered With FSR 4.1, Frame Generation, AMD Ray Regeneration, and AMD Anti-Lag enabled, the game may freeze or crash unexpectedly. In my case, the game freezes and returns to the desktop. I've also seen reports from other Radeon RX 9000 users where the AMD graphics driver crashes completely, requiring a forced restart of the PC. These issues only occur in Crimson Desert. Every other game on my system runs perfectly. I have already submitted my crash logs to the Pearl Abyss team to help identify and resolve these issues. Areas that need improvement Better overall PC optimization. Improve CPU and GPU utilization. Better stability with FSR 4.1, Frame Generation, AMD Ray Regeneration, and AMD Anti-Lag. Reduce stuttering, micro-stuttering, and sudden FPS drops. Improve texture streaming and shader compilation during fast travel and high-speed movement. Improve camera behavior in tight spaces. Refine hitboxes that don't always match character and enemy animations. The dodge mechanic feels too stiff and has a long recovery animation. It should be faster, smoother, and more responsive, especially during boss fights. Overall character movement could feel more fluid and agile, making combat even more dynamic. Add more advanced graphics and performance settings for PC players. Suggestions for future updates Please consider adding an optional online co-op mode. Exploring the world, fighting bosses, completing dungeons, and sharing the adventure with friends would make this amazing game even better. The single-player experience should remain the main focus, but an optional co-op mode would greatly increase replayability. Continue expanding the mount system with more legendary creatures, fantasy mounts, unique customization options, equipment, and progression. Please add donkeys as rideable mounts. They would bring more personality, charm, and variety to the world. Please add a Legendary Donkey with a unique appearance, exclusive abilities, its own progression system, customizable equipment, and special skills. It would become a fun and memorable mount that players would love to unlock and collect. Expand mounted combat so each mount type has its own abilities and gameplay style. Add a Photo Mode with advanced camera controls, filters, and lighting options. Add New Game+ with exclusive rewards, increased difficulty, and stronger enemies. Continue expanding the endgame with new bosses, dungeons, world events, repeatable activities, and long-term progression. Add a transmog system so players can customize their appearance without affecting equipment stats. Improve inventory management with better sorting, filtering, and search options. Add a bestiary, collectible tracker, achievement progress tracker, and more completion tools for players who enjoy 100% completion. Positive feedback Pearl Abyss has shown that they listen to community feedback by releasing performance updates and bug fixes. I truly appreciate the work the development team has done so far, and I hope they continue optimizing the game because the foundation they have created is outstanding. Despite the current technical issues, I highly recommend Crimson Desert. The gameplay, exploration, combat system, visuals, soundtrack, and world design are among the best I have experienced in an action RPG. With continued optimization, better stability, and future content updates, I genuinely believe Crimson Desert has the potential to become one of the greatest action RPGs of this generation.
