Crimson Desert Patch Notes Explained (Update 1.09.00)
Pearl Abyss continues to cook, as the latest Crimson Desert update 1.09.00 includes some of the game’s biggest new features to date. For starters, the patch finally adds custom controller remapping. When Crimson Desert first launched in March, one of the biggest complaints players and critics had was the game’s “clunky” controller layout.
Well, you can now map your button layout to your heart’s content! Finally, the Crimson Desert update also overhauls the pet system even further, adding close to 30 more animal species to the list that you can now befriend.

As we mentioned previously, Crimson Desert updates are now a complete surprise every time they come out. Pearl Abyss managed to complete their entire post-game roadmap in just weeks, so everything is just a bonus at this point. However, we do know the game’s recently added baby dragon feature still needs to be updated so that you can tame them as adults. So, we should get a patch in the future that finally adds flying pet dragon mounts to the game.
