Elden Ring Update Fixes Several In-Game Issues, Patch Notes Released

A new update for Elden Ring is now live, bringing the game up to Version 1.13.2. All in all, this is a pretty minor update, and players should not expect anything in terms of new content. Instead, FromSoftware seems to be solely focused on resolving a handful of in-game issues. It’s hard to say how many players might have even noticed some of these issues, but the developers clearly did, so hopefully the changes will result in a more enjoyable game overall. In the patch notes, FromSoftware states that the game must be updated in order to play online, so anyone struggling to do just that should make sure they’re up to the latest version. 

Following the update’s announcement, many players shared their hopes for other things they would like to see added in future patches. Outside of additional content, one of the most common requests seems to be for performance updates on multiple platforms. Unfortunately, there isn’t anything like that in today’s update, so players will have to settle for what’s here, and hope that it won’t be too much longer before the next one is released for Elden Ring. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:
