Crimson Desert System Requirements and Pre-Order Bonus Revealed
It's real.
Pearl Abyss is finally done teasing its highly anticipated open-world action-adventure title, Crimson Desert, which now has a release date set for early next year. It’s now available to pre-order across all major storefronts, and the developers have also shared a few technical details for the PC version.
Here are the system requirements, pre-order bonuses, and details of each edition for Crimson Desert to prepare you ahead of its release.
Crimson Desert System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 – 64-Bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Ryzen 5 2600X / i5-8500 | Ryzen 5 5600 / i5-11600K |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GTX 1060 / RX 6500 XT | RTX 2080 / RX 6700 XT |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 100 GB | 100 GB |
Currently, the requirements aren’t that detailed, and there is no mention of any target resolution or framerate. If we assume these are for 1080p, then the game doesn’t seem that demanding. For higher settings, you’ll need something like an RTX 2080 paired with a Ryzen 5 5600. You need a whopping 100 GB of free space to install Crimson Desert, which is completely believable given the scale of the open world and everything packed into it.
On the lower side, a GTX 1060 is listed, and it can provide some form of playable experience. I hope this is an indication that the game is scalable and runs well across different hardware.
