The vast world of Crimson Desert breaks players - few have finished the story

Crimson Desert was positioned as a large-scale project, and statistics confirm this. According to Steam achievements, only 6.8% of players have completed all main quests. This is an extremely low figure, especially considering that two months have passed since its release.

Even more interesting are other figures: 22.6% of players didn't even reach the first act, and only 25.4% made it to the middle of the story and completed the seventh act.

At the same time, many continue to explore the world of Pywel, fight bosses, and complete side quests. Instead of completing the story, players more often choose to explore the open world and collect equipment.

Critics previously noted that Crimson Desert works better as a large-scale sandbox world than as a linear story. Steam statistics confirm this.

Separately, it is worth noting the game's success: 5 million copies sold in four weeks.
