Despite this, the game is already showing strong sales. In the Steam revenue chart, Crimson Desert has been surpassing paid projects for several days in a row due to digital pre-orders. Only Counter-Strike 2 remains higher, but the situation may change in the near future.
Interest in the game was also influenced by Digital Foundry materials, which highly praised the graphics of the PC version. At the same time, the best picture can only be obtained with the ray reconstruction technology enabled, which heavily loads the "hardware". According to Digital Foundry, owners of GeForce RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti will be able to use it comfortably, while others, including PS5 Pro users, will get a simpler picture.
Digital Foundry editor noted:
The difference in graphics after enabling ray reconstruction is so huge that I couldn't believe it.
