Elden Ring DLC falls to a "mixed" Steam rating as PC players complain about difficulty and performance

Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has fallen to a “mixed” user rating on Steam after players logged their disappointment with difficulty and the PC version’s performance issues.

An aggregate score of almost 15,000 players has seen the critically acclaimed DLC stumble on PC, and whilst most players comment favourably on the game’s stunning presentation and world building, others take issue with the capped FPS, stuttering, and “bosses with jerky roll-catch movements and a plethora of physically nonsensical moves”.

“I love running for 20 minutes in an open area with absolutely nothing to pick up random consumables that I’ll never use against bosses that are insanely tedious to fight. Very miserable experience,” said one unhappy Tarnished.
