Elden Ring’s first and only DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is almost upon us. Ahead of its release on June 21, FromSoftware has revealed the minimum and recommended specs for PC players.
This particularly comes in handy for players to know exactly what specs their desktops or laptops must have, in order to run the DLC. The specifications are not too different from what was required to play Elden Ring when it launched, so if Elden Ring runs on your system right now, it should be able to let you run the DLC as well. Check out the minimum and recommended specs below.

While the PC system requirements are now out, that’s actually not all that you need to have on point in order to play the DLC. FromSoftware has locked access to the expansion behind two boss fights with Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood. Apparently, only 39% of players have beaten Mohg, as per the Steam achievements page. If you have not defeated Mohg yet, it’s high time now.
