I have to make posts like these because 1) I am currently not in a situation where I can obtain any new hardware at the moment, and probably won't be able to for a while and 2) It's been over 2 months and we're still being told that Nightreign's minimum requirements exceed the Iris Xe's power. Despite this, normal Elden Ring runs perfectly fine on the hardware that I am using right now. 
Here is base Elden Ring's minimum requirements, which is taken right from the Steam store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245620/ELDEN_RING/
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10
Processor: INTEL CORE I5-8400 or AMD RYZEN 3 3300X
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 3 GB or AMD RADEON RX 580 4 GB
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 60 GB available space
Sound Card: Windows Compatible Audio Device
Here is Elden Ring Nightreign's minimum requirements, also taken from the store page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2622380/ELDEN_RING_NIGHTREIGN/
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-10600 / AMD RYZEN 5 5500
Memory: 12 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 30 GB available space
Sound Card: Windows compatible audio device
Now one may look at the Processor requirements and say they are higher, but you can disable the graphics adapter and the game WILL launch. The game won't be playable since the graphics driver is disabled and will run at a mere 5 frames per second. So clearly it's not a processor issue, but an issue with Iris Xe. The graphics requirements are the exact same between Nightreign and regular Elden Ring. Please stop telling us that it's a graphical issue. I'm so tired of seeing this excuse when older versions of Iris Xe can launch the game (if you're on Windows 10, you can launch the game with version 27.20.100.9749. The issue is there being a red tint issue that others have mentioned for other games and the game will not be very visible for that reason). If there are legitimate reasons why Nightreign can't work on Iris Xe, I will gladly accept that, but the excuse of it being a minimum requirement issue just does not work for me. I at least need a real answer, or a far more in depth answer for why Intel representatives have kept saying the graphics requirements were too low, even though they are exactly the same as regular Elden Ring, which works fine. I'm not a tech expert, but again, I doubt it's a processor issue because the game launches once you disable Iris Xe (and it's not playable because it's at 5 FPS).
