Pearl Abyss Rolls Out Crimson Desert Update 1.11.00 as Sales Hit 6 Million

3 articles · Updated · Wccftech · Jun 12

Summary

  • Version 1.11.00 landed a week after Patch 1.10, adding new pet challenges that lift the registration cap to 100 while keeping the active camp summon limit at 50.
  • The update targets player friction by reworking the new pinball minigame—heavier ball physics, adjusted layouts, and fixes for clipping, stuck balls, and launcher errors.
  • Shopkeepers across Pywel can now recover lost rare gear, reselling chest- and quest-earned items within 7 days at prices above their original value.
  • Combat and control changes let Damiane and Oongka equip Mining Drill and Chainsaw, tweak wyvern and golem behavior, and add controller remapping for key menus.
  • Pearl Abyss has framed the rapid free patches as a post-launch engagement strategy, and Crimson Desert has already sold 6 million copies in under 3 months.
