Crimson Desert unlocks at 01:00 Moscow time on 20 March

Pearl Abyss gave the unlock time for Crimson Desert on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. In Moscow that is 01:00 on the night of 19–20 March 2026. Other time zones shift the local hour, so the game does not open for everyone on one calendar date.

Preload starts 48 hours before the local unlock. It therefore begins on different days depending on the region.

The simultaneous release on those platforms stays. What changes is the time-zone anchor, not the list of stores.
