Unless your PC is super old, you shouldn't have much trouble running Shadow of the Erdtree at either its minimum or recommended specs. The reason for this is most likely the fact it shares the same system requirements as the original Elden Ring, which was released back in February 2022. Due to this, Shadow of the Erdtree does not require one of the new processors or graphic cards on the market. Though, if how Shadow of the Erdtree is running 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: Which platforms can you play Shadow of the Erdtree on?
Much like the Elden Ring base game, you can play Shadow of the Erdtree on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S.
This means there's no need to switch platforms if you wish to play Elden Ring's DLC and are safe to continue with your current save file. Just remember - like all DLC, the base game for Elden Ring is required to play Shadow of the Erdtree.
While console users just need to ensure they have enough space before downloading Shadow of the Erdtree, it's a good idea for PC players to check whether they meet the system requirement for Shadow of the Erdtree. Though, no matter which platform you're going to be playing it on, we recommend preloading the DLC and, for this, you'll need to know the Elden Ring DLC preload date and file size.
Hope you enjoy Shadow of the Erdtree!
