Greetings Adventurers,

During the June 23rd (Wed) maintenance, Black Desert's Steam App ID for Thailand, Southeast Asia, Russia, Turkey & MENA was unified.

We previously announced [here] that Adventurers would be able to play the game without any additional actions after the Steam App ID unification. However, we discovered that certain Adventurers who accessed Black Desert before the maintenance needed to reinstall the client.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our previously mistaken announcement.

As a result, Adventurers of the Thailand, Southeast Asia, Russia, Turkey & MENA service who previously purchased a package that included a game pass from the Steam Store and accessed the game before the Steam App ID unification were sent a Value Pack (15 Days) as compensation. You can find the Value Pack in your Steam Web Storage.

We will do our best to prevent any further inconveniences from the Steam App ID unification.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Greetings Adventurers!

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 (depending on service region), 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.


After the maintenance on June 23, (Wed), you will no longer see the title as Black Desert Online in your Steam Library, but as Black Desert instead.



All you have to do is select the new Black Desert title, and you’ll be able to play on your usual server as same as before.


If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us at Customer Support.


Happy adventuring!
