'Black Desert Console' Comes Natively to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S In June, Dropping PS4 And Xbox One Support

Black Desert Online is an open-world action MMORPG with next-generation visuals and skill-based combat that rejuvenates the genre.

With the deepest character customization of any game currently on the market, Black Desert Online allows for unprecedented detail in character creation. Its intuitive controls, beautifully designed world, and extensive lore will enthrall both newcomers and veterans of MMO games and action RPGs.

Travel through the lands in search of treasure and adventure or become one of the top craftsmen in the land. Set up trade routes and breed horses or compete against other guilds in epic siege warfare.

Pearl Abyss announced that Black Desert Console is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on June 26, 2025.

This launch of the game natively on current generation consoles will be available at no cost to all existing console players, with seamless data transfer ensured. 

Post-launch, Black Desert Console will shift to an exclusive PS5 and Xbox Series X|S service, sunsetting support for previous generation consoles. This transition, partially driven by hardware limitations hindering the delivery of the latest content, aims to enhance stability and performance for players, ultimately moving closer to content parity across all platforms. 

The update aims to improve performance and paves the way for new content, including Ulukita and Deadeye, with details to follow closer to release. Pearl Abyss remains committed to elevating the Black Desert Console experience for the Adventurers.
