Recently, Pearl Abyss announced that the Chinese distribution of "Black Desert Mobile Game" signed by Tencent of China under the agreement between the two companies will end early on January 27, 2025.

Black Desert Mobile received a license in China in 2021 and was distributed by Tencent in 2022. After its launch, Black Desert Mobile briefly appeared at the top of the iOS free-to-play and best-selling charts, but its performance has been mediocre since then. According to Pearl Abyss, Black Desert Mobile lost users in China so quickly that they finally made the decision to end the release in China early.

This decision was also driven by the release of the PC version of Black Desert for the Chinese market. The PC version of Black Desert will receive a game version in June 2024 and will also be published by Tencent. Pearl Abyss wanted to focus on Black Desert on PC.

"The release of Black Desert on PC in China is in its fourth week. According to data from Tencent's gaming platform Wegame, Black Desert's recommendation rate has remained high at 70%. ”

Pearl Abyss is very pleased with the results of the PC version of Black Desert on WeGame and hopes to continue to expand the market for the PC version of Black Desert.

It is worth noting that although the Chinese mainland market has been recognized as the mainstream of mobile games, the PC market has rebounded in the past two years. According to the "2023 Game Industry Report" released by the Game Working Committee, the market share of client games will rebound to 21.88% in 2023.

Specific to "Black Desert", an MMORPG that pays more attention to graphic performance, players pay more attention to the immersive experience that the PC side can bring to it than the convenience brought by the mobile terminal.
