Greetings, Adventurers.
First off, thank you to all our Adventurers who enjoy playing Black Desert through the Steam platform. We want to announce that the separately managed, Black Desert and Black Desert Online, Steam titles will be unified into a singular Black Desert title during the maintenance on June 23 (Wed).
Once this happens, Adventurers in North America, Europe, Russia, Turkey & MENA, Thailand, and the Southeast Asia regions will be able to play Black Desert under one Steam Store page, and freely discuss and share their thoughts in one community.
Please note that the unification of Steam App ID does not mean that the game servers are being unified; you will still be playing on your existing region’s server after this change.
Furthermore, we ask that you carefully read the following information.
1. There will be two titles displayed in your Library.
After the maintenance, you will now see two titles, Black Desert and Black Desert (Retired).
2. If you want to play the game, you must select the Black Desert title.
Once you select Black Desert, you’ll be able to access the designated server according to your Steam account’s country/region.
3. If you select Black Desert (Retired), you will not be able to access the game.
While you will download the Black Desert client if you select Black Desert (Retired), you will not be able to launch the game even if the download is completed.
4. After a certain period of time, only the Black Desert title will remain.
Once this happens, all you have to do is select the Black Desert title to play the game. Please always make sure to select the Black Desert title to play the game.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at Customer Support.
Happy adventuring!
