Crimson Desert rolls out Patch 1.16 overhaul adding 133 trading posts and new features

Pearl Abyss released Patch 1.16 for the MMORPG Crimson Desert on August 1. The update overhauls the game's trading system, adding 133 new trading posts, 24 high‑value trade goods, four standard items, and seven wagon workshops across the world of Pywel. Prices now fluctuate with supply, a new Trade tab on the world map helps players locate posts, and royalty trading posts yield four‑times higher profits. The patch also includes extensive gameplay fixes, combat bug fixes, stability improvements, and quality‑of‑life enhancements.

A subsequent Patch 1.17.00 has been made available on all platforms, including Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games Store and others. This version addresses numerous bugs such as incorrect challenge progress tracking, misplaced items in quick‑slot after consumption, special helm effects not activating, overlapping footstep sounds, erroneous map icons for unavailable chests, and incorrect trade route displays. Localization errors were also corrected across all languages. The update is being rolled out globally.
