Crysis Remastered is now available on the PC via Epic Games Store. As such, Crytek has updated its EGS page, revealing that the game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Crysis Remastered features high-quality textures up to 8K resolution, Global Illumination (SVOGI), state-of-the-art depth of field, new light settings, motion blur, Ray Tracing and more.
As we’ve already reported, the game ran with 38fps at 1080p on Very High settings on an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU with an NVIDIA RTX2080Ti. In addition, the game ran with 25-32fps in 4K/Max Settings on an NVIDIA RTX3080.
Crysis Remastered features a new “Can it Run Crysis?” graphics mode. This mode is designed to demand every last bit of your hardware with unlimited settings, and will be exclusive to the PC version. Furthermore, Crytek plans to add support for DLSS 2.0 at a later date.
Now as we reported a while back, Crysis Remastered may be based on the PS3/X360 version of Crysis. This could mean that the Ascension level is not present at all in this remaster. However, the game will feature the old nanosuit controls/mode.
Since Crytek has not sent us a review code (update: Crytek has just sent us a key, so we’ll be giving it away this weekend), we went ahead and purchased a copy of it. As such. we’ll be sure to share some 4K/Can it Runs Crysis? screenshots later today.
Stay tuned for more!

In game market so chinise can farm 24/7?
I’m perhaps most looking forward to Digital Foundry’s next cringe-fest of a video about the game. It’s amazing how their powers of critical thinking seem to go out the window when a publisher offers them a guided tour of the dev studio.
I wonder if they do ‘honest review’ now as this thing runs like a f*king crap and they should smack that crysis altar when seeing those 20fps in 4k on their personal rigs which cost probably a fortune
I expect we’ll witness some unintentionally amusing damage limitation from them. Downplaying the severity of the problems while focusing disproportionately on the few positives and assuring us that patches are soon on the way. In other words, them sounding like marketing mouthpieces for the game’s publisher (yet again) rather than being truly on the side of the consumer.
the game ran with 38fps at 1080p on Very High settings impressive how Unoptimized the game is
You don’t seem to understand the difference b/w graphically demanding and unoptimized…and 8x MSAA is overkill.
I dont think you watched linus video he is not using 8xMSAA IN the remastered it is set to off
Back when the game first came out, at least it had a reason why no one could run it, it actually looked amazing. In fact today in 2020 the original crysis 1 can at times look better than crap that comes out today.
But now this is 2020, and this “remaster” barely looks better than games that came out in 2019, so yes. This is a case of terrible optimization.
hu..hu
Linus used 8xMSAA ONLY in the original Crysis game (which ran with more than 60fps in 4K). He didn’t use 8xMSAA for Crysis Remastered.
its just target to run like that, to make it seem like its heavy , while its nothing but software breaking the game… then modder start looking into the game and bam , shame on crytek
Yeah basically want to make the meme still alive
How the f*** can you find so many ways to botch a videogame.
I’m honestly impressed at this point. EGS + Denuvo + an entire freaking level being removed…
Crytek’s business department needs to burn lmao.
Does anyone have anything intelligent to say in this comment section?
That became pretty much impossible once you commented.
Oof 100
screw epic spyfraude store
Yes, Vote with your wallet!!
PCGamer called, they want their lemming back…
It is a wonder that Crytek didn’t go bankrupt long ago anyway. The only thing that saved them at one point was not paying their employees for months several times and closing half of their studios. It’s just been one bad decision after another with Crytek and now look at the mess they are making of this Remaster.
with epic they just killed the fanbase ..so anyway its going to fail hardcore,but epic will paz for the failure like thez did with all games in the spy fraudstore
This is amazing
Don’t forget the single thread CPU issues as well. https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/crysis-remastered-suffers-from-single-threaded-cpu-issues-just-like-the-original-game/
The game is just as demanding as the original, which had optimization issues with future GPU hardware. I’m looking forward to how it holds up.
Except back then there was no other game as detailed as Crysis. This is s garbage remaster of the Xbox 360 version! Which was less detailed than the original Crysis.
It also ran like dog sh*t on the 360, and had an entire level cut from it.
yes only that cryengine 2 was way powerful than anything crytek made after, all the new engines are console optimize ….so don’t come with that excuse…
So the game runs like crap.
Is Epic exclusive.
And now it’s Denuvo protected.
I don’t think CryTeck wants people to play this game at all. 😀
Exactly, they can shove it so deep!
lmao indeed
Just another reason on the junk pile of reasons, to not get this pile of trash.
Goes to show the stupidity of these suits, to think if a game can’t be cracked, it will just magically sell regardless of quality.
Keep your Denuvo-protected pile of s**.t I’m good.
Another Epic fail….
Epic, make piracy great again.
This isnt even worth pirating.
Are the folks at crytek high on drugs? What is going on? The game barely looks better than OG crysis, just on par with other games that came out this year, and it can’t even run at 60fps on the newest GPU…. Now this.
Wtf? Like for reals is this a huge expensive joke?
Excellent, I will receive my MSI RTX 3080 next week and I’m going to buy Crysis Remastered right away from EGS to test the card. ?
*hard facepalm*
We are disappoint.
Tested for 2 hours and refunded. Original Crysis was maxing out 1 CPU core, remaster is maxing out 2 cores. Lowering Objects and Shadows Quality helps with CPU bottleneck. My hardware: Ryzen 3700X, Vega 56, 2x8GB@3733MHz.

F*ck them, seriously….
Can it run…
…to Hell.
Not even worth pirating, next.
To make it worse, I propose Crytek to change all characters to non-binary gender-fluid black BLM activists. Also, get rid of the suit and give them lolita clothes, please.
Of course, using dildos as weapons like in Saints Row would also be a good idea.
Treating PC users like second class citizens, why should anyone give Crytek the time of day?
“However, the game will feature the old nanosuit controls/mode.”
This is unfortunately FAKE NEWS! Not your fault. Crytek really claim this, but it’s a lie. The checkbox for old controls gives a cosmetic selection wheel but the gameplay remains the Crysis 2 style. Classic Crytek bait and switch of going to great lengths to pretend they’re delivering features they can’t be arsed to actually deliver.
