The Windows version requires 16 GB RAM and 150 GB SSD space; Steam also lists an Apple-silicon Mac build and Denuvo activation limits.
Crimson Desert Enhanced requires 150 GB of free SSD space and 16 GB of RAM on Windows. Steam lists full controller support, Steam Cloud, and HDR, and it discloses Denuvo Anti-tamper with activation limited to five different PCs within one day.
| Windows target | CPU | GPU | Memory | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Ryzen 5 2600X or Core i5-8500 | Radeon RX 5500 XT or GeForce GTX 1060 | 16 GB | 150 GB SSD |
| Recommended | Ryzen 5 5600 or Core i5-11600K | Radeon RX 6700 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 | 16 GB | 150 GB SSD |
These are official entry and recommended tiers, not a promise of a particular frame rate at every resolution. GPU memory, drivers, cooling, background software, and the chosen settings can still affect performance.
Steam also sells a Mac edition for Apple silicon. Users should compare the exact chip and macOS fields on the current Steam page before purchase because “Mac” does not mean older Intel Macs are supported. The separate Mac App Store rollout was still pending in Pearl Abyss's Enhanced announcement, which does not block the Steam Mac build.
For a controller-first setup, Steam's full-controller label is stronger evidence than community tags. Steam Deck compatibility is not asserted here unless Valve publishes a Deck rating; Linux compatibility should not be inferred from the Windows or Mac listings, especially with Denuvo present.
