Crimson Desert Mac Specifications

It’s interesting that, according to YouTuber Kenny H., Crimson Desert will release natively on macOS, and if that report is true, we might expect a really poor performance of Crimson Desert, similar to Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. MacBook Air is included, but because of the absence of any fans in Air models, your performance will become close to zero fps. MacBook Pro users might play this game almost the same as on a mid-range PC.
