Even though Intel's graphics solutions, encompassing both integrated and discrete GPUs, hold a comparatively smaller market share, they are still utilized by a considerable number of gamers.

However, according to numerous player reports, Pearl Abyss's upcoming title, Crimson Desert, currently offers no support for Intel Arc graphics cards. Users have reported that the game is not only unoptimized but frequently fails to launch or becomes completely unplayable on these devices, confirming widespread incompatibility.

Developers have explicitly stated on the game's official FAQ page that Crimson Desert does not function on Intel Arc GPUs. Furthermore, Pearl Abyss has not announced any future plans to implement support for these graphics processors. Players who purchased the game with the expectation of compatibility with Intel's solutions are strongly advised to seek a refund.

This situation has generated confusion and disappointment within the gaming community, as it effectively restricts the game's accessibility to users of AMD and NVIDIA video cards only.
