It’s time to discuss Elden Ring and the great question of our time: Whether to play on PC or console.
To get everyone up to speed: FromSoftware has graced gamers with its latest creation and, by Jove, it’s raking in perfect scores all over the place. Our very own Miles Dompier gaveElden Ringa whopping five out of five stars, signaling it’s an excellent experience that not only lives up to FromSoftware’s standards but sets a new bar for them. The game was praised for its compelling gameplay, distinct art direction, and lavish character customization capabilities.
In short, there’s little reason for younotto be giving Elden Ring a shot, hence why so many of you are likely already knee-deep in the game. The question we have is: Where are you playing it? Console, or PC?
While we figure a lot of you are on Xbox, that still leaves three distinct options for where you choose to play. We also knowa lot of you have PlayStations, which is another platform choice for Elden Ring. And don’t forget PC, a beloved pick by many. However, on the topic of the game’s PC availability, it’s worth noting that even though console framerateshaven’t been perfectly stablefor Elden Ring across the board, the PC problems have been substantially worse, to the point where Bandai Namco Entertainment has had topublicly comment on the matter.
Still, there’s an argument to be had forplaying on PC. Past FromSoftware games have enjoyed great mods on the platform, offering a little extra fun that consoles aren’t included in. Though, consoles are armed with the benefit of not being included in variouslaunch window performance nightmares, so, there’s that.
