In the US, a week of Crimson Desert averages about 20–22 hours

Circana, through analyst Mat Piscatella, counted the first full week after release, through 28 March. Xbox owners in the US spent about 20 hours on average in Crimson Desert, PlayStation owners about 22. On Xbox that is first place for average time. On PlayStation it is second, behind Path of Exile.

The average mixes people who sit for dozens of hours and people with short sessions. Even so, for a console the figure is high. On weekly active users in the US the game is 14th on PlayStation and 18th on Xbox, already inside the top 20.

A full completion with every activity is estimated in the note at more than 200 hours. This is an engagement estimate, not a new sales total.
