Pearl Abyss: Crimson Desert Does Not Support Intel Arc, Advises Refunds

The late addition of the Intel Arc warning to the game's FAQ left some PC buyers blindsided.

Overview

  • Pearl Abyss’ official FAQ now states Crimson Desert currently does not support Intel Arc GPUs and directs affected customers to request refunds.
  • Intel Arc users report the game will not boot, returning an error that says, “The graphics device is currently not supported.”
  • An Internet Archive capture from March 15 shows the FAQ lacked any Intel Arc disclaimer before launch, indicating the notice was added very close to release.
  • Further launch issues include Xbox App versions on PC failing to start and some Xbox Series X/S players being forced into roughly 120GB re-downloads after day-one patches.
  • Isolated reports note the same boot-error on some Radeon and GeForce PCs, with the scope still unclear and no timeline from Pearl Abyss for Arc compatibility.
