Question 1

Does this include the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion?

Accepted Answer

No. This is the Standard Edition, which includes only the base game. Shadow of the Erdtree is a separate expansion that requires the base game, and it is not included with this code. If you want the expansion as well, you'll need to buy it separately and add it to the same account. To reach the expansion content, you also need to progress far enough into the base game first, since it is unlocked partway through rather than from the start.

Question 2

Will the key work in my country?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since this is a global key. A global Steam key is not locked to one region, so it activates on your Steam account wherever you are. Steam does enforce region restrictions on keys that have them, so a region-locked key for one country would fail elsewhere, but a global key avoids that problem. Activate it on your own Steam account and you are ready to download.

Question 3

Is Elden Ring single-player or multiplayer?

Accepted Answer

It is mainly a single-player game, and that is how most people experience it. It does have online features, so you can summon other players to help through difficult areas and bosses, and other players can invade your world for PvP. Full campaign co-op from start to finish is not part of the game without mods, so the online side is built around summoning and invasions rather than playing the whole story together.

Question 4

Do I need to be online to play?

Accepted Answer

Only for some things. You need an internet connection to download the game through Steam and to use the online summoning and invasion features. The single-player campaign itself can be played offline once the game is installed, so you do not need a constant connection just to explore the Lands Between on your own.

Question 5

Once I activate the code, is the game mine to keep?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Steam key does not expire, and once you activate it the game is added to your Steam account permanently, so you can download and reinstall it whenever you like. Because it ties to the account that activates it, redeem it on the account you intend to play on. If you are giving it as a gift, pass the code on before it is activated so the recipient can add it to their own account.
