What to know about this profile

These notes explain the main assumptions behind this game's RightRig profile. Cited benchmarks, when present, are listed under More detail. Not summarized again here.

Pearl Abyss open-world action RPG (released March 2026). Cinematic is the highest standard preset and is strongly GPU-heavy. The separate Max Lighting option adds a very large additional cost and is not recommended for typical play. Game appears to be GPU-bound at typical settings; CPU pressure is low even on mid-range processors. DLSS 4 and FSR 4 are supported at launch; Intel XeSS 3 (including frame generation) and Intel Arc GPU support were added in patch 1.03, approximately three weeks post-launch — Arc GPU rendering has known visual issues on some models. Ray tracing is an optional toggle with minimal performance impact. Steam Deck has no official Valve compatibility rating; community reports indicate poor performance and the platform is not recommended for this title. Profile is estimated pending exact benchmark-validated GPU demand.
