Crimson Desert Patch 1.12 Adds Outdoor Housing, Crafting Tools and Side-Character Upgrades

Pearl Abyss presents the update as foundation work for a paid DLC, cross-save support, and a wider push into non-combat systems.

Overview

  • Patch 1.12, released Friday, June 19, 2026, is live on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and lowers initial load times while ensuring the character loading screen appears for side characters.
  • Players can now place decorations outside their houses with 58 new furniture and exterior items that include fountains, wells, braziers and pet furniture.
  • Two new crafting stations, the Workstation and the Loom, were added and require crafting manuals that players obtain from shops, claw machines, the box of fortune and the orb roll challenge.
  • Side characters Damiane and Oongka received gameplay parity upgrades so they can equip Visiones, read memories and ride the dragon Blackstar, and Kliff plus other characters got new equipment and accessories.
  • Pearl Abyss says it will keep shipping free updates while it builds a 'substantively different' paid DLC and platform features; the studio is using weekly patches to shift the game toward housing, pet and life-sim systems and to prepare technical groundwork for future content.
