- The first user to attain the platinum trophy in Crimson Desert spent 285 hours in the game.
- With an average of 19 hours of playtime per day, the platinum trophy still took more than two weeks.
- The Pearl Abyss title has been praised worldwide for its massive open-world with heaps of content available in it.
Despite initial criticism for its weak storyline and janky controls, Crimson Desert has managed to win over fans thanks to Pearl Abyss’ attention to player feedback. The open-world title has been updated constantly since launch, fixing launch issues that plagued its reception.
However, arguably the main reason for Crimson Desert’s success is the game’s massive open-world, with such a scale that players haven’t even completed half of the map despite putting in 200 hours. As it turns out, the title’s Platinum trophy is going to take even longer to attain for completionists.
Why it matters: Crimson Desert’s style of world building is certainly going to become the standard in the industry moving forward.
According to PSN Profiles, the first player to attain the platinum trophy in Crimson Desert had to play the game for 285 hours. On the website’s leaderboard, user N-A-E-C-A-B-O-N was the first person to achieve this landmark in exactly 15 days, with an average playtime of 19 hours a day.
So far, only five users on PlayStation have played Crimson Desert to 100% completion with every one of these playthroughs taking around 300 hours. Hence, if you want to attain the ultra rare Platinum trophy in the world of Pywel in under two weeks, you’ll need to play for at least 20 hours daily.
Crimson Desert has been praised around the globe for the depth of content in its game world that still has more than enough to offer after 200 hours-plus of playtime. Pearl Abyss even said before its launch that the open-world title is so big that even they couldn’t figure out how long it will take to beat.
For sure, Crimson Desert might have missed a beat on the story and narrative, which Pearl Abyss even admitted. But, its humongous world more than makes up for it and sets new standards.
