BLACK DESERT CONSOLE COMING NATIVELY TO PS5 AND XBOX SERIES X|S WITH MAJOR UPDATE 

Manhattan Beach, CA — March 28, 2025 — Pearl Abyss has announced that Black Desert Console is set to launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on June 26, 2025, marking a significant milestone as the game celebrates five years of crossplay. 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.
