On the 12nd, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Hwi-young announced that he had congratulated Pearl Abyss on its new title, 'Crimson Desert,' surpassing 6 million units in global cumulative sales, and pledged to expand support for the gaming industry.

On the 12nd, Minister Choi Hwi-young took to social media to praise the performance of 'Crimson Desert,' which surpassed 6 million units in global sales just 83 days after its release, calling it a 'remarkable achievement.'

Reflecting on his own past experience as a gaming company CEO, he offered words of encouragement, noting that such high-quality results must have been built on a foundation of hard work and trial and error.

Minister Choi further emphasized that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism would fulfill its role to ensure that more titles like 'Crimson Desert' continue to emerge.

To this end, he promised to provide comprehensive support, including fostering indie games, discovering new IP, and offering financial assistance, stating, "The Ministry will provide a powerful 'growth buff' so that the worlds you create can reach even further."

Pearl Abyss announced on the 11st that the global cumulative sales of 'Crimson Desert' had exceeded 6 million units. This figure represents an additional 1 million units sold in about two months since the company announced it had reached the 5 million mark on April 15. Continuous updates are cited as the reason for the steady increase in sales even three months after launch.

A developer note recently released by Pearl Abyss includes various improvements scheduled to be implemented through September. In particular, the plan to improve the story progression—which had been criticized for lacking coherence—has been met with a positive response from users.
