- PC version requires an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU for Ultra performance
Pearl Abyss has finally revealed the PC and console specifications of Crimson Desert ahead of the game’s launch this month.
The open-world action-adventure game is scheduled to launch on March 19, and yet until recently, Pearl Abyss had only shared gameplay footage on PC, leading players to become skeptical of Crimson Desert’s performance on PlayStation and Xbox.
Today, after months of waiting, the studio has finally shared a detailed description of what each platform will offer, including the three modes for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X: Performance, Balanced and Quality. The Xbox Series S will only have Performance and Quality modes.

PS5 and Series 4K resolution, PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) and maximum ray tracing.
The Balanced option will also offer enhanced 4K resolution for all three consoles at 40fps, with ray tracing, but 48fps for the PS5 Pro.

As for Quality mode, if you want to sacrifice performance for prettier visuals, the game will offer enhanced 4K/4K resolution and 30fps with ray tracing, with the PS5 Pro having an ultra boost.
The Xbox Series S is the weakest in terms of features offered. Performance mode is set to 720p at 40fps with ray tracing disabled, while Quality has 1080p and 30fps without ray tracing.
Crimson DesertPC requirements were also included in today’s post, asking gamers to have an AMD Radeon RX 7700
For the full Ultra 4K 60fps performance experience, an AMD Radeon RX 9070
For players switching to handheld mode on ROG Xbox Ally, Single Performance Mode will offer 720p resolution with FSR 3 Frame Generation at 40fps, while ROG Xbox Ally X will offer all three modes at 1080p at 60, 40, and 30fps, respectively.
Pearl Abyss responded to skeptics earlier this month, saying it would “reveal things before launch to give people enough time to pre-order the game for themselves.” We say it openly… Let’s cook?
Aside from a few snippets of PlayStation footage in a recent PlayStation Blog post, the studio has yet to share any additional footage on the console alongside today’s specs.
