Yes—Black Desert Console now runs natively on PlayStation 5. On June 26, 2025, Pearl Abyss launched a PS5/Xbox Series X|S version and began sunsetting the PS4 and Xbox One editions, with progress and purchases carrying over to the next-gen consoles. Existing PS4/Xbox One players could upgrade at no cost, and their characters, items, and Pearl balances were preserved in the transition. For players asking about the current state, this means Black Desert is officially available on PS5, while older gen consoles are no longer supported. official Games Press announcement PSU coverage
The move was announced in March 2025, with the native PS5/X|S launch confirmed for June 26, 2025. The PS5 edition promises improved performance (native 4K, higher framerates, faster load times) and a seamless data transfer, reinforcing that you can continue your adventure on current-gen hardware without losing progress or purchases. This shift aligns Black Desert Console with modern platforms, while staking less emphasis on the PS4/Xbox One generations. Games Press update Games Press launch schedule
