Two nominations for Crimson Desert
Crimson Desert is nominated in two categories at the 2026 gamescom Awards: Best PC Game and Most Epic. The voting schedule is provided in the official post published on Steam.
Voting opens on August 26
Voting is scheduled to run from August 26, 2026 at 09:00 to August 27, 2026 at 14:00 CEST, creating a 29-hour window.
Steam published the official announcement on August 24, 2026. It invites the community to support Crimson Desert and thanks players for their support since launch. The announcement confirms the nominations and timetable, but it does not report a final result, so the game’s presence on the list should not be mistaken for a victory.
The message also invites people attending gamescom to meet in Cologne, connecting the online vote with the event itself.
