Crimson Desert passes 5 million sales; Pearl Abyss awards staff bonus

gamingApr 27, 202610186

Pearl Abyss announced that Crimson Desert has sold five million copies and awarded every employee a special bonus of ₩5 million, roughly $3,400. Crimson Desert currently shows higher player retention than Elden Ring, a metric the company highlights alongside its sales milestone. South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok publicly praised the five million mark, and Pearl Abyss released the official Crimson Desert soundtrack as a free first volume with 75 tracks totaling over four hours. Together these developments show Pearl Abyss's rising commercial strength and clear company backing for continued live-service updates and expansions.

Yes quite different to me holding off on buying Crimson Desert because they fixed a lot of things and apparently made the game better, so I'm not sure when is the best point in time to get it!

So, between Infinity Nikki's AMAZING new update and the huge new update coming to Palia in a few weeks, I have not touched Crimson Desert in over a week. And WWM? What's that? Any other full-time working parents struggling to balance all the games?
