Fantasy MMORPG Black Desert Online is now free to own on PC as part of the game's fourth anniversary celebrations. You can get what Pearl Abyss calls a free 'Starter's Package' either by going on the official website and adding the game pass to your account (you'd then have to use the Black Desert Online launcher) or simply by adding the game to your Steam library, as long as you do it by March 2nd, 3 PM UTC.

　　If you already have a Black Desert Online account with Trial or Guest access, you'll just need to log in to see that updated to the Starter Pass. Additionally, take a look at the following disclaimers for the promotion.
