Crimson Desert got off to a rather rocky start, but that narrative has long since been overwritten thanks to a laundry list of quality-of-life fixups and bug squashing. It's gone from strength to strength—hitting two million sales in the first couple days, then up to three million a few after that, and then to four million at the beginning of the month.
And now, just a few weeks later, Pearl Abyss has revealed that the game has officially hit the big five million milestone, just under four weeks after its initial release. "Crimson Desert has sold through over 5 million copies worldwide!" a post on the game's official X account reads. "Thank you to every Greymane who has joined us on this journey, experienced the world of Pywel, and supported the game. Reaching this milestone would not have been possible without your support and we are truly grateful."
