Game Performance & Controversy

[nihalsari]

Crimson Desert is one of the most anticipated open-world games of 2026—but there’s been controversy around its performance.

While the PS5 Pro version impressed experts at Digital Foundry, fans are still concerned about how the game will run on base consoles. PC players also voiced frustration after Denuvo DRM was quietly added, though Pearl Abyss assures all pre-release footage already included it. Whether you’re on console or PC, the countdown is on for March 19!
