For this reason, we will walk you through the system requirements needed to play Shadow of the Erdtree and enter the Realm of Shadows.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is expected to be a massive success, and the only thing that might stop players from trying it out is the system requirements.

The DLC will be available for the PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. However, not everyone owns a console, so we decided to share the PC requirements below in case some players need to upgrade their systems before Shadow of the Erdtree launches.
