- Crimson Desert is confirmed to be making the most of the PS5 Pro with PSSR 2 support.
- The game is said to be running at 4K and high frame rates while also using ray tracing.
- Base PS5 performance also appears to be impressive, with previewers confirming 40FPS gameplay at 4K.
Crimson Desert’s latest previews have arrived, and for the first time, Pearl Abyss has also shared brand new details on the game’s console version. In particular, the PS5 Pro version of the action-adventure title has received one notable detail.
The team has confirmed its use of PSSR 2 on the console, leading to an impressive combination of visuals and frame rate.
Why it matters: This updated version of the PSSR upscaler has received a lot of praise already after making its debut with Resident Evil Requiem.
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.
Optimization aside, the latest Crimson Desert previews have been quite positive so far. Pearl Abyss appears to be covering all the bases, leading to increasing excitement for the game ahead of its release.
