Summary

  • A GameStop listing suggests Crimson Desert may come to the Nintendo Switch 2, expanding its player base.
  • Crimson Desert is slated to come out in late 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
  • The Switch 2’s graphical performance may lag behind PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, potentially impacting game performance.

Owners of the Nintendo Switch 2 could potentially enjoy playing “Crimson Desert”, a forthcoming open-world fantasy action-adventure game developed by Pearl Abyss, on their new console. While there hasn’t been an official confirmation yet about the game being compatible with the Switch 2, a listing on retailer GameStop hints that an announcement regarding its availability might be made soon.

Founded in 2010, the South Korean company Pearl Abyss has primarily gained recognition for its fantasy MMORPG, “Black Desert Online,” which was released in 2014. Initially conceived as a sequel to this game, “Crimson Desert” was announced at The Game Awards 2020. To date, Pearl Abyss has only developed two other games: the mobile-exclusive adventure RPG, “Black Clover M: Rise of the Wizard King,” released in 2022, and a mobile version of “Black Desert Online” launched in 2018. The anticipation among fans for what “Crimson Desert” will offer has been growing since its announcement.

As an ardent follower of gaming news, I’m excitedly waiting for the release of “Crimson Desert” towards the end of 2025, with platforms like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC confirmed. Interestingly, a recent search on GameStop’s website for upcoming titles suggests that the Nintendo Switch 2 might also be hosting this game, as it appears under their “Coming Soon” list. However, a thorough investigation of “Crimson Desert’s” official website and social media profiles has not revealed any mention of the Switch 2 yet, leaving us in a state of uncertainty. Is this a premature leak or an error on GameStop’s part? Only time will tell!

Crimson Desert May be Available on Nintendo Switch 2

If there’s indeed a Switch 2 version of the game, it would open up the opportunity for many more players to enjoy it. However, this news comes as quite a surprise given an earlier report in October suggesting that “Crimson Desert” might have been exclusive to PlayStation 5. According to that report, Sony extended an exclusivity offer to Pearl Abyss for the launch of their action-adventure game, but Pearl Abyss chose not to accept it.

Many enthusiasts have been eagerly anticipating the open-world gameplay of Crimson Desert since its unveiling in the summer of 2023, but some are uncertain about how well it will run on Switch 2. The Switch 2 is known for boasting graphical capabilities ten times greater than those of the original Switch, with features like 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Nevertheless, it’s predicted to trail both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in certain performance areas, such as offering only about one third of the TFlops as the Series X and less than half the GPU clock speed of the PS5.
