Crimson Desert arrived nearly two weeks ago now, landing as developer Pearl Abyss's first big single-player open-world game – but the developers aren't done with their work on the new genre gem just yet.
Although Crimson Desert suffered a bit of a shaky launch with a "Mixed" rating on Steam and complaints regarding wonky controls, it's since recovered, now boasting "Very Positive" reviews on PC and millions of copies sold.
As fans continue sharing how one of 2026's most hotly anticipated new games won them over, Pearl Abyss continues its work on improving Crimson Desert in the background – and hotfix 1.01.01 serves as proof.
