We’ve just received some pretty impressive early sales figures for Crimson Desert. The game is set to launch on March 19 and already seems to be a hit in terms of pre-orders.
Analyst Rhys Elliot, who works for Alinea Analytics, revealed that approximately 400,000 copies of the Pearl Abyss game have reportedly been sold on Steam alone. As a result, pre-orders have generated approximately $20 million in revenue (including $2.6 million on March 16, 2026, alone) on Valve’s platform. In addition, Crimson Desert has been added to Steam wishlists 2.2 million times.
In short, Crimson Desert is off to a strong start and looks set to be a massive commercial success.
