Pearl Abyss announced via its official social media at 11:00 AM on the 1st that 'Crimson Desert' has reached 4 million units sold globally. The development team stated, "Crimson Desert has sold 4 million units worldwide," and added, "We are truly grateful to all our 'Greymane' companions who have joined us on this journey." They also mentioned, "Your passionate support and interest are always a great source of strength for us."

Crimson Desert showed rapid momentum, recording 2 million units sold on its first day and 3 million in just four days, before surpassing the 4 million mark in only 12 days. This sales record is considered an exceptional achievement for a Korean console game in the global market. For context, the well-received ARC Raiders reached 4 million units sold in two weeks, while Lies of P surpassed the 4 million mark this March, approximately two and a half years after its release.

The game maintains a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, with English-speaking users accounting for more than half of the total player base. According to the 2025 Game White Paper, the global console market is valued at approximately $53.712 billion (around 81 trillion KRW), with North America and Europe accounting for 74% of the market. Given that Korean game exports typically lean toward China (29.7%), Southeast Asia (20.6%), North America (19.5%), and Japan (8.3%), this success highlights the importance of global market expansion and platform diversification.

Crimson Desert is an open-world action-adventure game set in the vast, seamless continent of 'Pywel,' following the journey of the protagonist 'Kliff' and his 'Greymane' comrades. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, Apple Mac, Epic Games Store, and ROG Ally.
