Unless your PC is very old, you shouldn’t have much trouble running Shadow of the Erdtree with its minimum or recommended specs. The reason for this is likely the fact that it shares the same system requirements as the original Elden Ring, released in February 2022. For this reason, Shadow of the Erdtree does not require one of the newer processors or graphics cards on the market . However, if running Shadow of the Erdtree on PC is affecting your gameplay, it might be time to upgrade. (This is a FromSoftware game after all – you really don’t want it to lag.)
Elden Ring DLC Platforms: What platforms can you play Shadow of the Erdtree on?

While console users should just make sure they have enough space before downloading Shadow of the Erdtree, it’s a good idea for PC gamers to check if they meet the system requirements for Shadow of the Erdtree.
