Black Desert Online is a popular massively multiplayer game with elements of a sandbox. You will find one of the various BDO classes presented in the game. Black Desert is available on many platforms such as Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Android, and iOS. The game is developed and published by the Korean company Pearl Abyss. In this post, you will learn about Black Desert price and monetization including the answer to the question “Is Black Desert Online Free?”.
The quick answer to this question is no. But there are some ways to play Black Desert Online for free and we will tell you about them below.
Sometimes you can really get Black Desert Online free copy via Steam sales or other events that hold Pearl Abyss. But they are rare. The last time developers gave out the game in Steam for free was in 2019 with the release of the newly remastered version of the game. On the other hand, Steam offers some good discounts on different sales where you can buy Black Desert online for a fairly low price. We will write all prices further, now let’s learn more about the Black Desert Online free version.
To tell you the truth the only option to play Black Desert Online for free right now is to use a free trial. The game offers 14 days of a free trial if you download and signup for BDO. You can download Black Desert from here (official website).
There are three editions with different contents that you can buy and play. Below we will highlight all the differences.
The first edition is called Novice Edition and it costs $10 and contains the Game Pass. It is the ability to play the main quest lines and PvP battles. But you will not be able to participate in new events, for example.
The next one is called Master Edition and you can purchase it for $30 and it contains much more:
And the last Black Desert Online edition is called Legendary Edition, which costs $90 and contains the following:
Also, we’d like to mention that all editions can be purchased with real currency and Acoin (a cryptocurrency). In case, you are interested here are the prices for each of the editions we’ve mentioned above in Acoin:
You can make a purchase or read extra information about any of the packs from the official website.
As you can see black Desert offers a lot of stuff that you can buy in addition to the game. So it shops the main monetization of the game. Even if you buy the Game Pass for $10 (which is a one time purchase) you will still need to buy extra stuff from the in-game shop. There are different currencies and you will be able to get some of them while playing, of course, but BDO is far from being a free-to-play game.
