Popular MMO Black Desert Online is currently available for free on Steam for a certain period of time. Black Desert Online is already available for free in several regions of the world, but the English-language versions of the game are almost always pay-to-play only.
Black Desert Online’s creator Pearl Abyss has done a fantastic job of maintaining the community since the game’s initial release in 2014. Black Desert Online is one of the select few MMOs that has been able to not just survive, but also prosper. Too many MMOs enter the market with lofty goals, but they never last more than a few years. Although Black Desert Online first received mixed reviews, Pearl Abyss has remained committed to the title, and it continues to draw hundreds of thousands of daily active players. Backward compatibility on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S ensures gamers will still be able to play much into the future after Black Desert Online’s PlayStation 4 and Xbox One releases in 2019 helped the game reach a new audience.
Without any formal notification, the free-to-keep price dropped to $0 on Steam until March 9. Unlike many MMOs, this one normally sells for $9.99 and doesn’t require a membership to play. Black Desert Online’s DLC packs are also available at a tremendous 70% discount as part of the campaign, making this the ideal time for players to immerse themselves in Pearl Abyss’ gigantic MMO.
Previously, Black Desert Online could be downloaded for nothing via Prime Gaming, but this promotion has long since ended.

Despite the fact that the game is still live, this change should result in a significant increase in the number of new players. Players may be more inclined to spend money in Black Desert Online’s Pearl Store without having to pay for the game because it allows them to lessen some of the grind. Similar features can be found in many MMOs, however in this case, the absence of an entry or membership charge can be more acceptable to gamers.
Although while Black Desert Online appears to be active right now, it’s difficult to predict its long-term future. Despite the fact that there hasn’t been much news about the game for a while, Crimson Desert’s development has consumed a large portion of Pearl Abyss’ development resources. Yet, as long as Black Desert Online continues to have a strong player base, it’s hard to imagine Pearl Abyss ceasing support for the game, even if Crimson Desert is a big success for the firm. Crimson Desert’s release is presently predicted for late 2023, so only time will tell.
