Swapped my 44T chainring for a 52T

Most likely yes, it depends what derailleur you presently have on the bike. Pretty easy to identify: how many gears, and what letters are on it?

There's another possible route which is a Wolftooth derailleur hanger extension, but they predictably cause issues with the high (small) end of the gearing (AFAIK they existed to increase climbing ability of 1X drivetrains, prior to the introduction of longer cage 12-speed stuff. Sort of a stop-gap fix really.)
