Pearl Abyss' open-world action-adventure game, 'Crimson Desert,' has surpassed 6 million copies in global sales.
On June 11, Pearl Abyss announced the milestone via its official social media channels, expressing gratitude to players for experiencing the world in their own ways.
'Crimson Desert' sold 2 million copies on its first day and exceeded 5 million within a month of its release. It achieved the 6 million mark just 83 days after launch, setting an unprecedented sales record in the history of Korean console gaming.
User engagement has remained stable since the game's release. Forbes noted that 'Crimson Desert' has maintained a high user retention rate, contrasting with the typical rapid decline in sales seen in single-player open-world games.
Pearl Abyss has also revealed plans for a Q3 update and downloadable content (DLC) development, aiming to sustain long-term success through continuous content expansion.
Jin-young Heo, CEO of Pearl Abyss, stated, "Despite being a new intellectual property (IP), 'Crimson Desert' has achieved significant success in the global market. We sincerely thank players worldwide and will continue to pursue new challenges to provide enjoyable and high-quality experiences."
