On April 2, step into Liangzhou, the first snow region in Where Winds Meet, and try the new Heng Blade -a traditional Chinese weapon defined by elegance, precision, and masterful craftsmanship! The game is available on PC, PS5, and mobile. Jump in and experience the new update here: https://bit.ly/3ZVFK7d #wherewindsmeet #WWMHengBlade

There's no shortage of modes and toggles in developer Pearl Abyss' console release of Crimson Desert - and we try them all in its PS5 and PS5 Pro form today. Despite offering so many ways to play it's clear that base PS5 struggles to find one definitive setup, between its 30, 40 and 60fps modes. VRR helps however, as does the availability of a balanced mode with 30fps cap. The greater GPU grunt of the PS5 Pro however does give us more flexibility where performance is concerned - plus it's bundled with support for Sony's new PSSR upscaler. Tom covers every detail in this first round of console coverage - with Xbox to follow soon.
