- Pearl Abyss claims Crismon Desert will run 4K 60 FPS without using any upscaling.
- He said off-the-shelf engines weren’t capable enough, so they created their own.
- The game is aiming to launch in an optimized state, as it has finally gone gold.
Crimson Desert is brimming with huge potential and could be one of the biggest hits of the year. After multiple delays, it recently went gold and is set to launch in just over a month. It is also promising a great optimization at launch.
In a recent interview, the studio director revealed that Crimson Desert will be able to run at 4K 60 FPS at launch, and without any upscaling like DLSS or FSR. He said they needed their in-house engine for that, as others weren’t capable.
Why it matters: In the age of games launching as an unoptimized mess, the studio is promising great results, that too without any major upscaler, despite every major game making it mandatory.
Talking to Destin Legarie, Pearl Abyss director Will Powers talked about Crimson Desert’s optimization. He said that now that the game has gone gold, they are concentrating on optimizing it further as much as they can.
Yeah, we’ll show 4K 60 native, sure, with ray tracing on, that’s not done through DLSS or FSR, that’s done natively in-engine.
– Will Powers
Powers said that the game is capable of 4K 60 FPS without DLSS or FSR, but of course, you’ll need powerful hardware. Most AAA games can’t do that at native resolutions, even if you use the highest-tier GPUs.
He didn’t go into details about console modes, but did confirm PS5 Pro enhancements. Destin claimed off-the-shelf engines weren’t able to push through all this, so they had to create their own engine.
Nonetheless, the optimization would just be the cherry on top of a game that’s already being claimed as a soild GOTY contender from its early previews. The title finally releases on March 19 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
