Crimson Desert, the highly-anticipated open-world RPG from developer Pearl Abyss, has recently been given a March release date - and thanks to the game's Xbox Store listing, we now know that the game will support Xbox Play Anywhere at launch next month.
Yep, Crimson Desert arrives for Xbox Series X|S and PC on March 19th, 2026, and it's been tagged up as Xbox Play Anywhere compatible on the Microsoft Store. This is an initiative Xbox has been pushing lately in the wake of its branded ASUS ROG Ally system, and it's good to see another big game jump on the XPA bandwagon here in 2026.
Here's Crimson Desert's Xbox Store page, confirming Xbox Play Anywhere compatibility:
In terms of the game itself, the jury's very much still out on the first big single-player RPG from Black Desert Online developer Pearl Abyss, but we're willing to give them the benefit of doubt until it's in our hands. Crimson Desert looks very ambitious, and here's hoping the team can pull it off.
