From Software releases PC system requirements for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Here’s what you need to run Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion

Elden Ring’s highly anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is launching on June 20th, and with it comes updated PC system requirements for the game.

Thankfully, not much as changed with these new system requirements. If you could play From Software’s latest Souls-like before, you should be able to play Shadows of Erdtree. Only the games storage requirements have seen a major change, with the game now requiring 80GB of system storage.

One notable change is that Elden Ring’s minimum and recommended hardware requirements now include Intel ARC GPUs. Intel has worked hard to ensure that their GPUs can play Elden Ring. In fact, Intel’s latest GPU drivers have “Game On” support for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree isn’t hard to run on PC. With the game’s recommended GPUs being AMD’s RX Vega 56 and Nvidia’s GTX 1070, the game is easy to run by today’s standards. That’s great news for PC gamers with older hardware. That said, the game’s 60 FPS framerate cap limits the potential of more powerful systems.

MINIMUM:

    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 10
    • Processor: INTEL CORE i5-8400 or AMD RYZEN 3 3300X
    • Memory: 12 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 3 GB, AMD RADEON RX 580 4 GB, or INTEL ARC A360 6GB
    • DirectX: Version 12
    • Storage: 80 GB

RECOMMENDED:

    • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
    • OS: Windows 10/11
    • Processor: INTEL CORE i7-8700K or AMD RYZEN 5 3600X
    • Memory: 16 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1070 8 GB, AMD RADEON RX VEGA 56 8 GB, or INTEL ARC A750 8GB
