Pearl Abyss is working on making Crimson Desert compatible with Intel Arc GPUs

Among the few controversies surrounding Crimson Desert, is the issue regarding the game's incompatibility with computers equipped with an Intel Arc graphics card. Although this affects only 1 to 1.5% of PC players, this has been enough to cause quite a stir.

So much so that Pearl Abyss has decided to address it. The South Korean studio stated on X that its teams are currently working on this compatibility issue for Arc GPUs. The developers aim to provide "a smooth and stable gameplay experience", while apologizing for the confusion surrounding this issue.

"Regarding CrimsonDesert support for Intel Arc:

We are currently working on compatibility and optimization support so that Crimson Desert can also be enjoyed on Intel Arc GPU systems. We are preparing to provide a smooth and stable gameplay experience, and we ask for your patience until the support update becomes available.

We apologize for any confusion our FAQ wording from several hours ago regarding playability on Intel Arc GPUs may have caused. Please regard this as our latest official news on the subject. Thank you."
