Fans are celebrating Elden Ring expansion Shadow of the Erdtree’s vast new open world and intricate DLC gameplay, but technical issues, including persistent sub-60 FPS drops and traversal hitches, continue to hinder the experience.
On consoles, Elden Ring‘s core performance issues are still evident across various technical aspects after Shadow of the Erdtree dropped—especially when compared closely by Digital Foundry on YouTube. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions suffer from persistent sub-60 FPS drops, particularly noticeable during intense gameplay segments. These inconsistencies are further exacerbated by traversal hitches, which disrupt the seamless experience Elden Ring players expected.
