Crimson Desert earns $427 million despite mixed launch reviews
Crimson Desert, an open-world action game from Pearl Abyss, pulled in $427 million in revenue and more than 6 million sales since its March debut. This is despite a lackluster 77 score on Metacritic, which Pearl Abyss attributes to critics playing early builds under time constraints. The studio’s post-launch updates, driven directly by player feedback, are credited with building major community support.
- Over $427 million in revenue since launch
- More than 6 million copies sold worldwide
- Studio regularly updated game based on player feedback
- Launch reviews suffered due to early builds and review limits
- Outperformed recent titles from established franchises
