How to check whether it is available on your platform and in your region
- Open the storefront you use for games: PlayStation Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, or Microsoft Store.
- Search for Crimson Desert Enhanced: Charting the Unknown and check the listing for your account’s country or region. Pearl Abyss says availability is restricted in certain markets after content and age-rating reviews; its notice does not identify those markets.
- If the DLC listing is missing or unavailable, check the publisher’s preorder and platform notice and your store’s local listing. The notice does not establish whether an unavailable listing is due to a regional restriction, a storefront rollout, or another issue.
Pearl Abyss says the DLC will not be available on the Mac App Store at launch. The publisher says it will make a separate announcement if Mac availability is planned later. The base game’s availability on Mac does not mean this DLC is also available there.

Which platforms are listed—and what the Mac distinction means
The DLC preorder notice names four storefronts: PlayStation Store, Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. That list is distinct from the base game’s platform list, which includes PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac. The DLC’s explicit Mac App Store exclusion means that a base-game Mac release does not establish DLC availability through Apple’s storefront at launch. See the base-game launch notice alongside the publisher’s DLC notice when checking.

Is there a physical edition of the DLC?
The announced physical Standard, Deluxe, and Collector’s editions are editions of the base game for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, not physical copies of Charting the Unknown. Pearl Abyss and PLAION described the Collector’s Edition as including a 17-inch diorama, SteelBook, fabric map, developer letter, pin, photo cards, and patches. The announcement does not say those editions include this separately listed DLC. If you buy a physical base game, check the DLC listing and your platform account separately. See the physical-edition announcement.
