Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree file size

The Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree file size will be 16.5 GB on PlayStation 5. Thank you again to PlayStation Game Size over on X for the help with this information.

At the time of writing, we're unable to confirm the file size for the DLC on Xbox and PC. Yet, we wouldn't be surprised if Shadow of the Erdtree is of a similar size on those platforms.

If you're playing on PC, it's also important that you know the Elden Ring DLC system requirements.

Since the Elden Ring base game is 51.16 GB on PlayStation 5, this means the total space it and the DLC will take up is around 67 to 70 GB. Remember - there may be additional patches and small updates added to this total file size. It may also be different on PC, Xbox and PlayStation 4.

Good luck in Shadow of the Erdtree!
