Open-World Epic “Crimson Desert” Sells 3 Million Copies in Four Days
Pearl Abyss’s new open-world action game, “Crimson Desert,” has already sold over 3 million copies worldwide just four days after its release, according to reports. The game is receiving “very positive” reviews in English-speaking territories, with developers quickly addressing player feedback.
The game has been praised for its expansive world and graphics, though some early reviews noted UI issues and bugs. One review called the game “a greedy open world waiting for an overwhelming volume of adventure and slow life, even after playing for 200 hours.”
“Crimson Desert” offers a vast experience, with one reviewer noting that even after 100 hours of gameplay, new discoveries are still being made. The reviewer described the game as a “slow burn” that becomes addictive, ultimately calling it a “god game” when it clicks. The development team’s responsiveness to concerns is similarly being highlighted as a major strength.
For those diving into the game, tips include expanding inventory space through shops or subquests, and discovering rapid travel points from the air. Players can also enjoy interacting with pets, feeding dogs and cats for charming animations.
The game’s system requirements have also been detailed, with a recommended PC build including a Ryzen 7 processor and a Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card. Digital Foundry has also provided analysis of the game’s performance on base PS5 consoles, suggesting a choice between “balance” and “quality” modes. The release adds to a growing trend of ambitious open-world games pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment.
