Pearl Abyss has finally given us a first look at the technical requirements for their upcoming ambitious RPG, Crimson Desert. Here is a complete breakdown of what you can expect in terms of performance and resolution while playing Crimson Desert on your PC hardware or consoles.
Crimson Desert PC System Requirements

| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 or newer | Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 or newer | Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 or newer | Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 or newer | Windows 10 64-bit 22H2 or newer |
| Storage | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD | 150 GB SSD |
On PC, the sweet spot is at 1440p, and you’ll need an RTX 4070 paired with something like a Ryzen 5 7600X to get a 60 FPS experience, without upscaling, which I think is quite reasonable for a game of this scale. Regardless of your settings, you need 16 GB of RAM and 150 GB of free space.
