Pearl Abyss Corp. announced that global cumulative sales of its open-world action-adventure game 'Crimson Desert' have exceeded 6 million units.

'Crimson Desert' recorded 2 million units on its first day of release, reached 5 million in less than a month, and has now achieved 6 million units in 80 days. As a new IP, it continues to show strong sales momentum and significant global market interest.

Following the announcement on June 11, 2026, the game's performance has been highly regarded, with Circana ranking it 2nd in cumulative US video game sales for 2026 as of May.

Forbes praised the title for maintaining high user retention rates, noting a trajectory different from typical open-world single-player titles, which often see rapid sales slowdowns.

Pearl Abyss is currently planning Q3 updates and DLC content for 'Crimson Desert.' The company remains committed to enhancing the game's overall quality and immersion, built upon its proprietary 'BlackSpace Engine.'

'Crimson Desert' was released simultaneously worldwide for PC and console on March 20, 2026.
