Overview
Crimson Desert launched with a Twitch Drops campaign that rewards viewers with free in-game cosmetic items for watching eligible streams. The campaign runs across two weeks and offers the Blue Scout Set for Kliff and matching horse equipment. All Twitch Drops rewards are purely cosmetic and do not provide any gameplay advantages.
Campaign Schedule
The launch Twitch Drops campaign is divided into two weekly periods:
Campaign | Start Date | End Date | Total Watch Time Needed |

Week 1 | March 19, 2026 | March 25, 2026 | 5 hours |
Week 2 | March 26, 2026 | April 1, 2026 | 3 hours |
Players who want to collect every reward need to watch a total of approximately 8 hours across both weeks (5 hours during Week 1 and 3 hours during Week 2).

How to Link Your Accounts
Before you can earn Twitch Drops, you need to connect your Twitch account to your Pearl Abyss account. Follow these steps:
Go to the official Pearl Abyss website and sign in (or create an account if you do not have one).
Navigate to your account settings and click Link Account.
Scroll down to the Others section.
Click the Twitch icon and authorize the connection to link your Twitch account.
You can also link your accounts through the connection settings on Twitch itself. Console players on PS5 or Xbox should make sure their console account is linked to the same Pearl Abyss ID they use for Twitch.
How to Earn Drops
Once your accounts are linked, follow these steps to start earning rewards:
Open Twitch and browse to the Crimson Desert category.
Select any stream that displays the Drops Enabled tag. Only streams with this tag count toward progress.
Watch the stream while logged into your Twitch account. Watch time accumulates automatically as you view.
Your progress carries over between different channels and sessions, so you do not need to watch a single stream in one sitting.
How to Claim Rewards
When you reach a watch time milestone, a notification appears on Twitch. To claim your rewards:
Click the notification bell or chest icon on Twitch, or go directly to your Twitch Drops Inventory at twitch.tv/drops/inventory.
Click Claim next to each available reward. You typically have 24 hours to claim before it expires.
Visit the official Pearl Abyss Crimson Desert Drops event page (event.pearlabyss.com) and sign in with your linked account.
Scroll to Check My Rewards and redeem each item to send it to your in-game inventory.
Launch Crimson Desert and check Menu > Others > Options > Add-On to confirm your items have arrived.
Important Rules and Tips
You do not need to purchase Crimson Desert to earn drops. Watch time accumulates even if you do not own the game yet, but you will need to own it to redeem and use the items.
Only one stream counts at a time. Opening multiple Crimson Desert streams in different tabs will not speed up your progress. Only one active stream contributes to your watch time.
Following or subscribing is not required. You just need to watch any eligible stream in the Crimson Desert category.
Muting the stream directly may flag you as inactive. If you need to mute, mute the browser tab instead of the Twitch player to avoid interrupting your progress.
Watch time milestones are cumulative within each week. For example, hitting the 2-hour milestone in Week 1 means you have watched a total of 2 hours, not an additional 2 hours after the 1-hour reward.
