The First Descendant has experienced its share of issues during its launch period, with the servers going offline multiple times and players suffering from performance and crashing issues. Nexon Games has responded by offering all players rewards as an apology, but this decision may annoy some players.

Players can find them by going to the mailbox in Albion where they will be available to claim. Here is where you can also claim your Twitch Drops rewards if you have already acquired them by watching streamers play the game.

Although this news may annoy some players that tested the game back in 2022 and 2023, it will be good news for newer players, even ones that have yet to try the game as Nexon Games also announced that the rewards will be given to future players too. So if you haven’t had a chance to jump into The First Descendant yet, now is a great time to change that.
