Elden Ring — frequently asked
How big is Elden Ring on PC?
The base game is about 60 GB. With the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC installed you should plan for roughly 80 GB of free space.
Is Elden Ring hard to run on PC?
Not really. It targets fairly modest hardware (GTX 1060/1070 class) and is capped at 60 fps, though it benefits from an SSD and 16 GB of RAM to avoid stutter.
