How was the beta of the MMORPG received? Many players participated in the beta of Black Desert. Criticism was aimed at the performance, as some testers couldn’t even reach 30 FPS, and the region lock, which prevented playing with overseas players. However, this has now been removed.
Nevertheless, many are excited about the PS4 version, as BDO is considered one of the most beautiful MMORPGs and can captivate many players through its gameplay. This is also enjoyable on the PS4.
