When a new PC release drops, the first thing most players want to know is how demanding it is. Let’s take a look at the system requirements for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and see if your PC can handle the expansion.
Luckily, it seems like the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has about the same requirements as the base game of Elden Ring. This, of course, makes sense as it’s an add-on to the game, so it should run completely the same. So, if you have already played Elden Ring on your PC, you’re probably going to be fine with the DLC. However, if you need a refresher, we’ve got the requirements listed for you below.
