Our take on Crimson desert

Crimson Desert suits players who enjoyed Black Desert Online or other open-world action RPGs and want a story-driven adventure with weapon-based combat and large-scale boss fights. It also works well for anyone who likes exploring a big fantasy world at their own pace, since it mixes fishing, cooking, crafting and hunting alongside the main story.

Before buying, check which edition you are getting. The Standard Edition is the base game only, while the Deluxe Edition adds the Crimson Desert Deluxe Pack. Confirm which storefront the key activates on, since a key for Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox or PlayStation will not work on another platform, and saves do not carry over between platforms either. If you plan to play on PC, note that the game uses Denuvo, which needs an occasional online check even though the core game can otherwise be played offline.

As a major new release, Crimson Desert is unlikely to see steep discounts soon after launch, so it is worth comparing listings carefully rather than assuming the first one you see is the best deal. Check the seller's activation region and refund policy before buying, since key resellers can vary in what they cover.

About Crimson desert

Crimson Desert is an open-world action adventure game developed by Pearl Abyss, the studio behind Black Desert Online.

Set on the continent of Pywel, the story follows Kliff and his fellow mercenaries in the Greymanes band after a devastating attack by their rivals, the Black Bears, scatters the group. As Kliff searches for his missing companions, a larger threat emerges: a mysterious force trying to unleash the power of the Abyss, a realm whose fragments have already fallen into Pywel. Two other playable characters, Oongka and Damiane, join the story later and can be freely explored, each with their own combat style and side quests.

Combat blends melee weapons, horseback fighting and elemental abilities, building up to large scale encounters against giant creatures such as dragons. Outside of battle, Pywel supports fishing, cooking, crafting and hunting, giving players ways to interact with the world beyond the main story.

Frequently asked questions

Is Crimson Desert single player or multiplayer? +
Crimson Desert launched as a single player game. Pearl Abyss has said a separate multiplayer project is planned for later, but it is not part of the base game, so there is no online mode or matchmaking to worry about at launch.
Can I play Crimson Desert offline? +
The game is designed to be played offline once installed, but the PC version uses Denuvo copy protection, which needs an occasional internet connection for a license check. After the initial setup and day one patch, most play sessions can happen without a live connection.
Does Crimson Desert have crossplay or cross save? +
No. Crimson Desert does not support crossplay or cross save between platforms. Progress made on PC, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S stays on that platform, so pick the version you want to commit to before buying a key.
What is the difference between the Standard and Deluxe editions? +
The Standard Edition includes the base game only. The Deluxe Edition adds the Crimson Desert Deluxe Pack, extra downloadable content bundled with the core game. Check the store listing carefully, since a cheaper key may only cover the standard version.
Which platforms is Crimson Desert available on? +
Crimson Desert is available on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and macOS. Make sure the key you buy matches the platform and storefront you actually plan to play on.
Are cheap Crimson Desert keys legit? +
Many resellers offer official keys sourced in regions with lower local pricing, which is legal, but always check the seller's activation region, refund policy and platform before buying, since a key restricted to the wrong region will not activate on your account.
