Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert - Divulgação

Pearl Abyss presented the technical configurations of Crimson Desert. The open-world action-adventure game arrives on March 19th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Mac. The South Korean developer has published the minimum and recommended hardware requirements along with resolution and frame rate targets on each platform.

The title uses the proprietary BlackSpace Engine graphics engine. Essa technology is designed to create detailed environments with dynamic combat and large-scale exploration. The story takes place on the fictional continent of Pywel, which brings together varied landscapes.

PC Requisitos follow various quality levels

Pearl Abyss has divided PC settings into presets ranging from minimum to ultra. Todas require 16 GB of RAM and SSD with around 150 GB of free space. The latest DirectX 12 is also required.

At the minimum preset the player should expect 1080p with upscaling from 900p at 30 frames per second. The configuration requires a video card equivalent to GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT and an Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8500 processor.

  • GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 5500 XT for the minimum
  • GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 6500 XT in preset low at native 1080p at 30 fps
  • GeForce RTX 2080 or Radeon RX 6700 XT is not recommended for 1080p at 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps
  • GeForce RTX 4070 or Radeon RX 7700 XT on high for 1440p at 60 fps
  • GeForce RTX 5070 Ti or Radeon RX 9070 XT on ultra for 4K at 60 fps

The recommended preset already allows good fluidity in most scenarios. Higher Configurações require newer components to maintain high resolution with stable frame rate. Final Desempenho varies depending on individual graphics settings and other software running.

Performance Metas on Consoles Prioritize Options

Nos consoles Pearl Abyss has set clear resolution and frame targets. Players find Performance, Balanced, and Quality modes on most systems. The Xbox Series S has natural limitations due to the more modest hardware.

On PlayStation 5, Performance mode targets 1080p at 60 fps. The Balanced reaches 4K with a rate of around 40 fps in some cases. Já o Quality delivers 4K at 30 fps with greater visual detail. The PS5 version Pro improves these numbers with improved upscaling and ray tracing support.

Crimson Desert – reproduction

Na Xbox Series X the goals follow a similar pattern. Performance focuses on fluidity with lower resolution. Quality favors details in 4K at 30 fps. The Series S works with 720p or 1080p depending on the mode chosen, with a limit of 30 fps in most situations. Tela compatible with 120 or 240 Hz and HDMI 2.1 cable help you achieve the best result.

BlackSpace Engine pursues large-scale realism

Essas technologies require high processing. That’s why the company chose to scale hardware requirements instead of imposing a single, very high threshold. The result is a game that is accessible on older machines at basic settings and optimized for current hardware at high settings.
