Pearl Abyss has finally stopped teasing its highly anticipated open-world action-adventure game, Crimson Desert, now with a confirmed release date set for early next year. The game is available for pre-order across all major platforms, and the developers have also shared key technical details for the PC version.
Crimson Desert System Requirements
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 10 – 64-Bit
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X / Intel i5-8500
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: GTX 1060 / RX 6500 XT
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 100 GB
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10 – 64-Bit
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 / Intel i5-11600K
- RAM: 16 GB
- GPU: RTX 2080 / RX 6700 XT
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 100 GB
While the requirements don’t mention target resolution or framerate, these specs likely refer to 1080p gameplay. For higher settings, an RTX 2080 paired with a Ryzen 5 5600 is suggested. With a hefty 100 GB of storage required, the open-world scale of Crimson Desert and its detailed content is believable. On the lower end, a GTX 1060 can still provide a playable experience, showing that the game is likely scalable across different hardware setups.
