According to the official PlayStation Blog, Pearl Abyss has been optimized to take full advantage of the PS5 Pro.

It is said that the latest PSSR update has made it possible for the game to achieve 4K and higher frame rates. The PlayStation Blog also discusses ray-tracing here, suggesting that all three elements could be combined into a single mode thanks to PSSR 2.

This confirmation makes Crimson Desert one of the first games to fully utilize PSSR 2. Elsewhere, the team is utilizing other PS5 features, like the DualSense controller, for maximum immersion.

As for what performance might look like on the standard console, it is said that the game runs at around 40FPS in Quality mode on the base PS5. Therefore, 60FPS should not be too challenging to achieve in Performance mode.
