PlayStation 5
Crimson Desert runs natively on PS5 with two graphics modes:
- Quality Mode — 4K resolution at 30 FPS with ray-traced reflections and maximum draw distance.
- Performance Mode — Dynamic 1440p resolution targeting 60 FPS with reduced shadow quality.
Both modes support the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers and haptic feedback for combat actions.
Xbox Series X|S
Xbox Series X
- Quality Mode — 4K at 30 FPS with full ray tracing.
- Performance Mode — Dynamic 1440p at 60 FPS.
Xbox Series S
- Single Mode — 1080p at 30 FPS with reduced draw distance and simplified foliage.
Storage Notes
An SSD is strongly recommended on PC. The game uses asset streaming extensively, and a traditional HDD will cause noticeable texture pop-in and longer loading times during fast travel.
Day-One Patch
Pearl Abyss released a day-one patch (v1.0.1) that improved shader compilation stuttering on PC and optimized VRAM usage for 8 GB cards. Make sure your game is updated before judging performance.
