Where's Our Crimson Desert PS5 Review? Site News

With the release of Crimson Desert now just 24 hours away, you'll soon see the Internet flooded with critic reviews. But, on this occasion, Push Square unfortunately can't join the party.

All the verdicts you find online today are based on PC review code. Pearl Abyss, the game's developer and publisher, has not provided anyone with console access, meaning any reviews based on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are not available at the time of writing. We've been told we'll get access to the PS5 version on release day.

While we understand review code is never guaranteed, it is disappointing we can't provide you, the readers, with our own thoughts before Crimson Desert comes out. Once we have access ourselves, we'll start work on our coverage, including an initial Hands On piece covering how the game runs on PS5. We'll also have our full PS5 review in the future alongside guide content.

To give you an idea of the quality of the game, we'll publish a Crimson Desert review Round Up as soon as possible.

Will you be waiting to hear how the PS5 version of Crimson Desert runs, or are you jumping straight in? Let us know in the comments below.
