Crimson Desert Patch 1.01.00 on PS5, Xbox, Epic, and Mac: Current Rollout Status

If you do not see patch 1.01.00 yet, that is not automatically a local bug.

As of March 29, 2026, Pearl Abyss says in the official patch notice that 1.01.00 will become available on PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games Store, and Mac App Store at a later time. The studio also says it will update the notice when those platform versions are available.

So the direct answer is: 1.01.00 exists now, but the rollout is not simultaneous across every platform storefront.

What the official note says right now

The current official wording matters because it is more precise than the usual "rolling out soon" language.

Pearl Abyss says:

patch 1.01.00 is published
PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games Store, and Mac App Store availability may come later
players should check back to the notice for platform rollout updates

That means the safest reading is that you should not treat a missing update on one of those platforms as proof that your installation is broken.

Which players are most likely to be waiting

Based on the current official note, the main wait group is:

PS5
Xbox Series X|S
Epic Games Store
Mac App Store

The patch announcement was shared publicly through the game's Steam news flow, which is why many early discussions today are coming from the Steam side first.

What patch 1.01.00 includes once it reaches you

The wait is not for a tiny hotfix. Patch 1.01.00 is a real player-facing update.

Its most important changes include:

five new summonable mounts
lower loading times for Abyss Traces travel and death respawns
more control improvements
Flight and Aerial Stab changes
north-up minimap support
better inventory and pouch handling
a new PS5 Fixed 4K Output option

What you should do if you do not see the patch yet

Do the simple checks first:

Confirm your platform is one of the delayed ones named in the official notice.
Refresh your storefront update page instead of only checking the game's title screen.
Do not assume a reinstall is necessary just because another platform already has the patch.
Check the official patch notice again later the same day, because Pearl Abyss said it would update that notice as rollout expands.

This is especially important on console, where players often mistake staggered propagation for a broken local install.

What not to do yet

If your platform is one of the officially delayed ones, avoid the most common overreactions:

do not reinstall purely because the patch is missing
do not delete saves
do not assume your account is region-locked out of the patch without evidence
do not copy unofficial "force update" tricks from social media

None of those steps are supported by the current official note.

Why this status post matters today

Search intent around a patch is not just "what changed." It is also "why do other players have it and I do not?"

That is the exact situation Pearl Abyss has already pre-empted here. If you are on PS5, Xbox, Epic, or Mac App Store, the official message is not "fix your install first." It is "this platform version may arrive later."

How this differs from older Crimson Desert patch rollouts

Some earlier Crimson Desert patches also reached platforms at different times, but 1.01.00 matters more because it is a bigger-feeling update. The pressure to troubleshoot a missing download is naturally higher when the patch contains new mounts, loading changes, and control improvements.

That is why it helps to separate a true local update failure from a normal staged rollout.

What to do once the patch appears

When the update lands on your platform, check the exact features that matter to your setup:

PS5 players should test Crimson Desert PS5 Fixed 4K Output Explained
PC players using mouse and keyboard should review Crimson Desert Keyboard and Mouse Changes After Patch 1.01.00
anyone focused on traversal should read Crimson Desert Flight Changes After Patch 1.01.00

That is a better use of your time than repeatedly checking for the download every few minutes without a plan.

FAQ

Is patch 1.01.00 out right now?

Yes, but not on every platform at the same time. Pearl Abyss specifically says some platform versions will arrive later.

Which platforms are named as delayed in the official note?

PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games Store, and Mac App Store.

Does a missing patch on PS5 or Xbox mean my install is broken?

Not based on the current official notice. As of today, Pearl Abyss says those platforms may receive the patch later.

Should I reinstall Crimson Desert if the update is missing?

No, not as your first move. The current official status points first to staggered rollout, not a required reinstall.

If your question is broader console image quality rather than patch timing, the older Crimson Desert PS5 and Xbox Graphics Modes, 120Hz, and Blurry Screen Fix is still relevant.
