Until this is fixed, click Claim in the stream chat to claim the reward, then link your Twitch account on the Drops event page. The same list notes that on Xbox, certain items such as Drops and pre-order rewards may not display in the Add-ons menu and cannot be claimed.49+The official Known Issues list, last updated on November 10, 2026 at 06:00 UTC, says Twitch Drops rewards can't currently be claimed from the Drops & Rewards menu.

The same list notes that on Xbox, certain items such as Drops and pre-order rewards may not display in the Add-ons menu and cannot be claimed.4850On November 9, 2026, the developers confirmed that Xbox delivery of expansion pre-order bonuses and Drops rewards remained under investigation. The end of the viewing campaign does not establish that this delivery issue has been fixed.52+Platform Delivery for This Campaign5054After claiming a reward, log in on the Drops event page with the Twitch account that earned it and choose your platform. Steam players receive the reward directly in game. PlayStation 5, Xbox and Epic Games Store players receive a coupon code to register on their platform (a 12-digit code on PlayStation, a 25-character code on Xbox), and the items then appear under Menu > Others > Options > Add-Ons. The platform can't be changed once the coupon code has been issued, and owning several game accounts does not allow duplicate rewards.5256How to Earn Drops5458Follow these steps to start earning rewards:59+Both campaigns have ended. These steps apply during active viewing windows:5660Open 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. You will also see a call-out message at the top of the chat box confirming that drops are active on that specific channel.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.5862You do not need to follow or subscribe to the streamer. The system records your progress in the background across multiple channels and viewing sessions.6064How to Claim Rewards6266When you reach a watch time milestone, a notification appears on Twitch. Crimson Desert uses a dedicated Crimson Desert Drops Page hosted on the official events page for claiming rewards. A Pearl Abyss account link to Twitch is not required. You log in directly with your Twitch account on the Drops page.6468To claim your rewards, follow these steps:6670Watch Crimson Desert streams with Drops Enabled while logged into your Twitch account until you reach the watch time milestone for the reward you want.Until the current menu issue is fixed, use stream chat and click Claim for each unlocked reward.

Make sure to select the platform you actually play on before confirming. If you do not see the rewards after registering the code, try restarting the game. If the issue persists, contact customer support for your respective platform.7579Important Rules and Tips7781You 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.A Pearl Abyss account link is not required. Crimson Desert has a dedicated Drops Page where you log in with your Twitch account directly, so you do not need a Pearl Abyss ID link.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 audio, mute the browser tab instead of the Twitch player itself 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.You cannot receive duplicate Twitch Drops. Even if you have multiple game accounts, each Twitch account can only claim each drop once.You cannot switch platforms after claiming. Once you select a platform and receive a coupon code (or automatic delivery on Steam), you cannot change your platform choice for that reward.7983Campaign Status8185The March 19 to April 1, 2026 launch campaign has ended.

Once you hit a required watch time milestone, the items are unlocked for you to claim. As of October 31, 2026, use Claim in stream chat while the Drops & Rewards menu issue persists.96100How Can I Tell if a Stream is Eligible for Drops?98102Look for the Drops Enabled tag in the streamer's category or title. You will also see a call-out message at the top of the chat box confirming that drops are active on that specific channel.100104Do I Need a Pearl Abyss ID?102106No. Crimson Desert has a dedicated Drops Page where you log in with your Twitch account to claim your rewards. A Pearl Abyss ID and a link between that account and Twitch are not required.104108Do I Need to Own the Game to Earn Twitch Drops?106110Technically, no. You can watch streams that have drops enabled, and when you reach the designated time, the rewards will be attached to your Twitch account. To be able to claim and use them in-game, however, you will need to purchase the game. You can watch streams and qualify for rewards before you make the purchase. In the Charting the Unknown campaign, Week 2 rewards also require owning the expansion.108112Can I Earn Rewards Faster by Watching Multiple Streams at Once?110114No. Twitch only tracks your watch time progress on one active stream at a time. Having multiple tabs open will not accelerate your progress.112116Do I Need to Manually Claim My Rewards?114118Yes. Once you hit a reward's time milestone, it will be available for you to claim. While the current Drops & Rewards menu issue persists, click Claim in stream chat, then visit the Crimson Desert Drops Page to finalize delivery to your chosen platform.116120Can I Mute the Stream and Still Earn Drops?118122Muting the stream player directly on Twitch can sometimes flag you as an inactive viewer and pause your progress. A safer workaround is to leave the Twitch player's volume on but mute the browser tab itself.120124What Kind of Rewards Can I Get From Twitch Drops?122126Rewards depend on the campaign. The March campaign included the Blue Scout character and horse sets listed above. The Charting the Unknown campaign (October 29 to November 11, 2026) gives the Pirate Lantern, Braised Meat x10, Pirate Eyepatch, Pirate's Sword, Pet Parrot and Parrot Pirate Hat in Week 1, and the Medium Fair Wind Figurehead, Stern and Sail ship parts in Week 2.127+Rewards depend on the campaign.
