When Crysis Remastered launched, the game was similarly graphically taxing. However, Crysis Remastered recently received an update that may have rectified this issue.

Denuvo DRM has been said to drastically impact the performance of games by causing stuttering issues and hampering frame rates. This was to the delight of many fans of the game, as many gamers have gained a strong dislike for
