Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has seen a resurgence in its Steam user score, now moving into the “Mostly Positive” category after previously having a “Mixed” rating. This improvement follows initial player discontent due to the DLC’s high difficulty and performance issues on the PC version.
Initial Reception and Improvement

Perfect. Everything down by the last minute details.” A third reviewer mentioned, “The only game that makes me despise sunflowers, extremely hard but enjoyable and perfectly represents what a DLC should be.”

Martin stated, “Oh, and about those rumours you may have heard about a feature film or television series based on Elden Ring… I have nothing to say. Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumour?”
