Elden Ring Server Maintenance Scheduled

Elden Ring's servers will be temporarily shut down tomorrow. In the meantime, Valve has announced that it intends to improve the game's performance on Steam Deck.

Elden Ring servers will be temporarily shut down. From Software ordered a maintenance break to improve the game's online features (read: eliminate connection problems preventing some players from joining the multiplayer fun).

Elden Ring on Steam Deck

From Software wasn't the only one to start making improvements to Elden Ring. Pierre-Loup Griffais, a developer at Valve, reported that the company is working on an update to improve the game's performance on Steam Deck. The patch will eliminate problems with animation dips and stuttering.

The patch won't be available until next week, but Valve is already letting us check it out in an experimental version.
