Intel suggests it was snubbed by Crimson Desert dev after reaching out "many times" about Arc GPUs – company says it provided "early hardware, drivers, and engineering resources" to studio

Intel claims it repeatedly contacted Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss about supporting Intel Arc GPUs, providing early hardware and resources, but the game launched without Arc graphics compatibility. Users with Arc GPUs receive an error message when trying to run the game. Pearl Abyss has not confirmed if Arc support will be added in the future, advising affected users to check the platform's return policy. Intel, holding a small market share in GPUs, expressed disappointment and willingness to assist Pearl Abyss in enabling support for Intel GPUs.
