Crimson Desert: Five-hour trial

Updated · Patch history

Notice 143 and the PlayStation store agree on the shape of the trial. It lasts five hours. Each account gets it once. Progress carries into a purchase. Charting the Unknown is not included. On PS5 you need PlayStation Plus Premium or Deluxe, and the window runs through 29 October 2027. On Xbox every player can start it, and the window runs through 7 January 2027.

This is not free to play. The full game is $69.99. A search for a mobile or PC demo does not match a page I could verify, so I am not inventing a Steam demo.
