Moreover, there are concerns about whether the expansion will demand more from a PC as compared to the base game. We have every query covered in this guide on Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree system requirements.
Minimum and Recommended Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree System Requirements
Shadow of the Erdtree doesn’t have any special system requirements, meaning that the purchasable expansion will run smoothly on PCs that fulfill the Elden Ring base game requirements.

Speaking of frame rates, a consistent 30-40 FPS is considered ideal for Elden Ring. Low-end PCs that fulfill the minimum system requirements can run the game smoothly with such frame rates, albeit there could be some occasional drops in FPS.
