South Korean prime minister celebrates Crimson Desert: 'K-games can shine as a pillar of K-content'

Crimson Desert is a big hit, but maybe you're not sold. Maybe you need a little extra convincing that it's really worth the hype. You don't have to take it from us—though you certainly could by reading PC Gamer features producer Mollie Taylor's review—you can instead take it from the highest authority on videogames there is.

As reported by IGN, Min-seok praised Crimson Desert recently on X, posting his thoughts after sharing that the game's sales figures are historic for the nation. "We sincerely congratulate the achievement of Crimson Desert, which has elevated the status of the Korean game industry on the global stage," he said (according to X's machine translation.) "[It] achieved 5 million sales in the shortest time in Korean console game history, just 26 days after release."
