Pearl Abyss has announced the official release date for Black Desert natively on current generation consoles, as the title will arrive in late June. If you're not already aware, the current version used by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is the one the company created for the previous gen models for both companies and because of this, a lot of current updates the game has received, especially for graphics, aren't fully being utilized by the console version. That all changes when both systems get a version of the game specific to their modern models, which will allow them to upgrade graphics, audio, new gameplay features, and more.
If you already own the game for either platform, you won't need to buy it again, but you will need to do an all-new download to update your version. Also, it doesn't look like the prices will change in the shops, so they're not making current-gen players pay more for what will essentially be an upgrade for first-time owners. More details are expected to come in the weeks ahead, as this version will be released on June 26, 2025.
