The Switch 2 version of Crimson Desert still needs some optimization work
, by Thibaut
Pearl Abyss fully intends to port the excellent Crimson Desert to Switch 2. It seems Nintendo’s console should be capable of running the single-player, open-world action-adventure game, but there’s still some work to be done...
During a recent meeting with investors, Huh Jin-young, CEO of the South Korean studio, reiterated his ambition to bring the title to as many platforms as possible. We’ve learned that Crimson Desert is *“at a level where basic gameplay is possible" on Switch 2. However, optimization work and technical testing are still needed. There's no release date just yet.
"We believe it is important to showcase Crimson Desert on as many platforms as possible. We are reviewing the Nintendo Switch 2, and it is currently being developed to a level where basic gameplay is possible. However, platform expansion is not just a simple port; the key is whether we can fully maintain the graphics, action, and open-world experience of Crimson Desert on that device. The Switch 2 version still requires optimization and technical verification, and we must also review partner collaboration and whether it meets our quality standards. Therefore, it is difficult to confirm a release schedule. We will announce it transparently once there is confirmed information."
