Patch 1.01.00 for Crimson Desert introduces new Legendary Animals and Boss' Mounts, along with rewards for previously caught Legendary Animals.

Various quality-of-life improvements include faster item crafting, enhanced inventory management, and improved movement controls for characters and mounts. Visual and UI upgrades have been made, including a fixed 4K output option for PS5 and improved rendering quality. Numerous bugs have been fixed, addressing quest progression, combat mechanics, UI issues, and system stability across platforms.
