Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

About Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - Pre-order Bonus (DLC)
Let's be honest about what this listing is. You are not buying a piece of content. You are buying early access to a single gesture called the Ring of Miquella, a cosmetic emote tied to Shadow of the Erdtree. That is the complete and total scope of this product. If that sounds thin, it's because it is. To its credit, FromSoftware at least kept the pre-order bonus cosmetic only, which is the correct call. Gestures in the Soulsborne tradition carry real social weight. Waving at a cooperator before a boss fight, or doing the correct bow at the right moment, is a tiny but genuine piece of the multiplayer fabric. The Ring of Miquella fits that tradition. It is themed around one of the expansion's central figures and carries lore weight for players deep enough into the story to appreciate it. As a gesture pick, it is not random filler. The catch, and it is worth saying plainly, is that this gesture is also obtainable by playing through the expansion normally. You are not buying exclusive access forever. You are buying the gesture at launch rather than finding it organically during your playthrough. For players who care about having every emote slotted the moment they boot up the DLC, this matters. For everyone else, it almost certainly does not. If you already own Shadow of the Erdtree and are weighing this as a standalone purchase after the fact, the math does not really work in your favor. The gesture will turn up in the expansion itself. If you are deciding between editions before purchasing and a bonus gesture tips the scales for you, know what you are actually getting: one emote, available to everyone eventually, delivered slightly sooner.
