Elden Ring is finally out and in the hands of all who’ve been waiting for it, but it’s unfortunately been subject to some performance issues surrounding its launch. Those problems affect the game regardless of the system it’s being played on, though those on the PC platform in particular have reported issues related to frame rates and controls. Elden Ring developer FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco commented on the performance issues and said they’ve got some fixes on the way.
