Whether Crimson Desert is on Game Pass or not is an obvious question to ask given the game's fairly tepid response and $70 price point. It's a lot of money to drop on a game you're not sure about, so getting the chance to try it on the Microsoft subscription service would be a huge bonus. With that in mind, here's the latest news about Crimson Desert on Game Pass.
Is Crimson Desert on Game Pass?
Sadly, as of launch, Crimson Desert is not available on Game Pass. While the vast RPG is available on Xbox and PC, as well as PS5, there are currently no plans to bring Crimson Desert to the subscription service.
That doesn't mean that we won't see Crimson Desert added to Game Pass at some point in the future, especially since Pearl Abyss' huge MMORPG Black Desert was on Game Pass between 2020 and 2023. It was added roughly 18 months after Black Desert's launch on Xbox, so we could be looking at Crimson Desert's arrival to the service sometime in 2027.
If you're now wondering whether to fork out on buying the game, our Crimson Desert review might help you make up your mind. While it took Joel a while to get into it, you certainly get your money's worth from the huge, open-world adventure. For more, Hayes Madsen has written about how much Crimson Desert makes them think of Breath of the Wild.
