Pearl Abyss has announced that Crimson Desert has sold three million copies worldwide since its launch on March 19, 2026, after previously confirming that the open-world RPG had moved two million units in 24 hours.
Here’s what the studio had to say in a post on social media:
We are grateful to share #CrimsonDesert has sold through 3 million copies worldwide. To everyone who has stepped into Pywel and shared this journey with us, thank you.Your feedback continues to help shape the experience, and we will keep working to make the journey ahead even more enjoyable for our players.
Earlier this week, Pearl Abyss issued a statement to apologise for the inclusion of AI-generated content in Crimson Desert, stating it was unintentionally included and said that future updates would replace the AI assets. The developer also released a new patch yesterday that implements a 120Hz toggle for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.
