Crimson Desert asks for 16 GB of RAM and 135 GB on an SSD

Pearl Abyss posted PC requirements for Crimson Desert less than a month before the 19 March 2026 launch. Both the minimum and recommended columns ask for 16 GB of RAM, DirectX 12, 64-bit Windows 10 and 135 GB on an SSD.

The minimum is a Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8500, with a Radeon RX 6500 XT or GeForce GTX 1060. The recommendation is a Ryzen 5 5600 or Core i5-11600K, with a Radeon RX 6700 XT or GeForce RTX 2080.

Only the processor and graphics card change between the two lists. The game also launches that day on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.
