It's mere hours until Crimson Desert finally unlocks and only at that point will we be able to have some idea of how the game operates on the standard PlayStation 5 and Xbox consoles. We do still have access to the PS5 Pro version, however, and in choosing the quality mode for this playthrough, you'll get to see how that native resolution checks out - presented in 4K HDR for those with compatible screens. Meanwhile, John Linneman shares his impressions and reactions to review critiques as he plays through the game across 48 minutes.
