Crimson Desert Patch 1.11 Doubles Pet Limits And Cleans Up Inventory Woes
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Pearl Abyss released patch 1.11 for Crimson Desert, raising the pet capacity to 100, improving inventory systems, and addressing community complaints following six million copies sold.
Pearl Abyss is giving open-world RPG fans a reason to check back into Crimson Desert. Following reporting by Elijah Gonzalez at Polygon, the game's latest patch 1.11 heavily expands the pet system. Players who finish specific challenges can now register up to 100 animal companions and keep 50 of them active in their camp at once. This massive cap increase solves a lingering community complaint from previous updates that introduced dozens of new critters like rabbits and hedgehogs but left players struggling with restrictive storage limits. These companions are not just for show either because they actively follow players into battle and handle loot collection.
Beyond turning the massive open world into a virtual wildlife sanctuary, the new patch tackles several practical quality of life issues that have frustrated players since launch. Shopkeepers will now collect and resell lost loot, which helps ease some of the inventory management headaches that marred the game's initial release. Pearl Abyss also lowered the difficulty on the surprisingly contentious pinball minigame, added new mining and harvesting tools for specific characters, and quietly removed controversial AI art assets that drew heavy criticism from the community earlier this year.
Despite a rocky technical rollout that required a steady stream of post-launch updates to fix cumbersome controls, fast travel annoyances, and narrative pacing, Crimson Desert is proving to have serious staying power. Pearl Abyss recently confirmed that the title has crossed six million copies sold. With full expansions on the way alongside ongoing tweaks to boss rematches and difficulty settings, the studio is clearly committed to refining the experience for the millions of players currently exploring its sprawling map.
