Does Crimson Desert Support Frame Generation on Console?
Crimson Desert supports FSR 3 on PS5 and Xbox, but Pearl Abyss says frame generation itself is only supported on PC and Mac. Here is the exact support breakdown.
No. Crimson Desert does not support frame generation on console.
Pearl Abyss' official FAQ says frame generation (FSR and DLSS) is only supported on PC/Mac. That means PlayStation and Xbox players can still use some performance-enhancing technologies, but not frame generation itself.
Quick answer
Here is the clean support split from Pearl Abyss:
PS5 Pro:Upgraded PSSRPS5 base model:FSR 3Xbox Series X|S:FSR 3PC:FSR 3/4,DLSS 4/4.5, frame generation,FSR Ray Regeneration,DLSS Ray ReconstructionMac: frame generation plusMetalFX UpscalerandDenoiser
So if your search is specifically about console frame generation, the answer is still no as of April 1, 2026.
What consoles do get instead
Console support is not bare-bones. Pearl Abyss does confirm:
PS5 ProusesUpgraded PSSR- base
PS5andXbox Series X|SuseFSR 3
That means console players still get an official image-improvement and performance stack. The limitation is just that Pearl Abyss does not list frame generation as part of that console feature set.
Why this distinction matters
A lot of graphics support pages mix together:
- upscaling
- ray features
- frame generation
- platform-specific image tools
Pearl Abyss separates them clearly. FSR 3 on console does not automatically mean frame generation on console.
That is the main reason this question keeps getting confused.
What Pearl Abyss has not claimed
Pearl Abyss has not said:
- that
PS5,PS5 Pro, orXbox Series X|Ssupport frame generation today - that a console frame-generation patch is already planned
- that console support is equivalent to the PC graphics stack
So the safe reading is simple: console players should judge support by the current official FAQ, not by assuming feature parity with PC.
Does this affect 120 Hz modes?
Not directly.
The official Performance Specs notice still lists separate console display caveats around:
- compatible
120/240 Hzdisplays VRRHDMI 2.1
Those hardware and display requirements are part of the console performance story, but they are not the same thing as frame generation support.
