Free, huge, and already in your Steam library
Pearl Abyss has released Volume 1 of the Crimson Desert original soundtrack for free on Steam and uploaded it to YouTube — Epic Games Store support is expected soon. The collection packs 75 tracks across four discs, covering everything from adrenaline-pumping battle scores to mellow ambient pieces that make the world of Pywel feel lived-in.
This is just Volume 1, so consider it the opening act of a larger soundtrack plan. Anyone with a Steam account can add it to their library at no cost, which is perfect for fans, streamers, and anyone who loves to soundtrack their play sessions.
Why players should care
Good music changes how you experience a game: exploration themes turn idle wandering into moments worth remembering, and boss tracks ramp up the tension when it matters. Having 75 tracks at your fingertips gives players and content creators a lot of legal, high-quality audio to use.
Pearl Abyss credits directors Hwiman Ryu and Inro Joo and a team of composers — including Ryu Hwi-man, Ju In-ro, Kim Ji-yoon, Oh Dong-June, and Roh Hyoung-woo — for crafting the soundscape of Pywel. The studio frames this release as a labor of love meant to accompany players on their journeys.
Crimson Desert is still evolving with frequent updates (and the occasional new bug), so this OST is both a nice companion for the current game and a teaser for more music to come. If you enjoy the world, this is an easy, free way to bring its vibes into your playlists.
