Xbox players can try Crimson Desert Enhanced for free for five hours. The trial covers the base game rather than the recently released paid expansion, Charting the Unknown.

According to Eurogamer, no paid Xbox subscription is required to use the trial. Progress carries over if you buy the game, and starting a new save does not reset the five-hour limit.

The trial is available through the Xbox store listing.
