We are less than a week away from the launch of Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtreethe long-awaited first expansion of one of the as a soul more relevant and valued. On the other hand, something more than understandable and expected, since we must not forget that we are talking about a title signed by FromSoftware, that is, the creators of the Dark Souls saga, which basically gives this subgenre its name. framed within the RPG genre.

The day chosen for its launch is next Friday June 21st, and it’s been on pre-sale on Steam for 39.99 euros for a few days now. At this point in the story, I think we’re all pretty aware of this, but just in case, I’m back with the obligatory reminder, you know it’s better to let a few days pass after it hits the market before buying, so I can pass. In this case, too, there is no offer associated with the pre-purchase, so you don’t lose anything.

In this case we also have to count own precedents, and Elden Ring’s PC debut was… well, let’s just say it could be improved. And all the excellent work done by FromSoftware was compromised by a significant lack of optimization. It’s true, yes, it didn’t take long to solve the problems and today it works perfectly, the question is whether the optimization was already done on this occasion or whether it will be again after the start.

Be that as it may, FromSoftware has finally released the requirements for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree and from what we see in them, we have good news for his current players. And as you can see in the table, they remain practically unchanged from the base game, with only two small changes.

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: minimum requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
• GPU: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB or Intel ARC A380 6GB
• FRAME: 12 gigabytes
• Storage space: 80 gigabytes
• DirectX: DirectX 12

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree: Recommended Requirements

• Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
• GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB or Intel ARC A750 8GB
• FRAME: 16 gigabytes
• Storage space: 80 gigabytes
• DirectX: DirectX 12

As you can see and as expected, We are not talking about a particularly demanding extension, because there wasn’t supposed to be a generational leap or anything like that. In fact, the only two changes we find in these specs with respect to the base game specs are the following:

• They include intel graphics cards to those already mentioned from AMD and NVIDIA.
• Storage space will increase by 20 gigabytes.

So if you’ve been able to play Elden Ring on your PC up until now without any problems, and if you’re not very, very limited on storage space (in which case I recommend this spectacular 2TB WD BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD at an exceptional price), you won’t have any problem enjoy this extension under the same conditions.
