It's time for round two of our look at Crimson Desert on console - with Xbox in the spotlight today. On the Series X front we're seeing parity with base PS5 in settings, which gives Microsoft's premium console room to push higher frame-rates. Series S however is in a more dire situation, with two modes that prune back all settings to equivalent to PC's low preset. Tom checks out the state of each - plus the new PSSR adjustments on PS5 Pro as of the latest 4th April patch.
