US EditionCrimson Desert Looks A Lot More Ordinary Running On A PS5
- On Tuesday, Sony PlayStation Japan released a 28-minute gameplay demo of Crimson Desert running on base PS5, providing the first official look at the title's performance just two days before launch.
- Prior to the release, Pearl Abyss faced significant online backlash for only showcasing Crimson Desert on high-end PC builds and the PS5 Pro, causing players to speculate the game would perform poorly on base consoles.
- Technical specifications confirm the game runs at 1080p and 60 FPS in Performance mode on base PS5, while Quality mode reaches upscaled 4K resolution at 30 to 40 FPS per Pearl Abyss specs.
- Although performance concerns appear addressed by the demo, observers noted the official YouTube video was uploaded at only 1080p, potentially obscuring the game's actual visual fidelity on base PS5.
- Starting March 18, Sony PlayStation confirmed more Crimson Desert gameplay footage will be posted on YouTube, serving as Volume 1 of pre-launch coverage ahead of the March 19 release.
