The suspense is over, we finally give you the answer, and some will be able to play it more quickly!
Elden Ring DLC launch is near, PS5 players will save time
The hours go by: in two days, maybe even a little less by the time you read these lines, the DLC ofElden Ringbaptized Shadow of the Erdtreewill be available to all players who have pre-ordered it. However, be careful if you don’t want to spoil the surprise since there already seem to be a lot of spoilers circulating on social networks, which forced Bandai Namco as well as the developers of this additional content to publish a message to alert everyone. While some are getting ready, others are in the starting blocks to start the game, and we have good news for them!
Like many games, the DLC Shadow of the Erdtree ofElden Ring suggests you perform a pre-download, the goal being to save precious minutes by launching the game as soon as the extension is released or to allow players who do not have an optimal connection to take the time to download the extension in advance. However, not all players are in the same boat! Yes, we recently learned that a category of players was going to be favored over others and these are… PS5 players ! We tell you more about it in the paragraphs below.

When will Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC be available? Here is the answer !
As we told you, Bandai Namco took to social networks to warn players of the many spoilers lurking on the web, but not only that! Beyond this warning, the game publisher Elden Ring took the opportunity to lift the veil on the famous pre-download time of the extension. We said it above: PlayStation 5 players will have the chance to install the game in advance to be able to play it quickly since the pre-download will begin on June 19 from midnight French time ! Therefore, as you read these lines, it is already available!
On the other hand, Xbox and PC players will perhaps envy this advantage offered to PS5 players. Conversely, those who play on Xbox Series and on Windows media will have to wait until the initially scheduled time, that is to say June 21 from midnight, local time, to launch the installation. Yes, unfortunately, it will not be possible to scrape a few hours to hope to launch the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC at midnight sharp. You will therefore have to be patient for a few minutes, for those who have a good connection, or even a few hours for those who have a lower speed.
