Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have revealed some new tech details about Elden Ring. According to the teams, the PC version will be locked at 60fps, will support resolutions up to 4K, and will feature Ray Tracing effects.
Unfortunately, Bandai Namco did not provide any additional information about the Ray Tracing effects. However, we do know that these effects will be coming via a patch. Thus, we can assume that the day-1 version will not feature them.
In Elden Ring, players will ride through the vast fields, gallop over rolling hills, and leap to the top of rocky crags on your ephemeral steed, revealing a world teeming with life and danger.
The game will have mythic creatures that prowl the veldts, ineffable horrors that lurk in the bogs and marshes, and all manner of soldiers and itinerant warriors. Moreover, shy creatures will nibble on sweet grasses or scuttle through the underbrush.
Furthermore, players can try dozens of skills and find one to best suit their style. Players can practice stealth to avoid danger or catch enemies unaware. Additionally, they can use the environment, the weather, and the time of day to gain an advantage.
The game will also rely on dodge and parry mechanics. Players will have to learn the art of combat where they must read their enemy’s intentions. Thus, a well-timed dodge or parry could be the difference between life and death.
Elden Ring will release on February 25th, 2022!

Dafuq did they say … ?
Why? The game’s already delayed …. Why not ship with full feature-set?
Framerate locked at 60 FPS? Let me add that to my “games to avoid” list…
What if its locked at 60fps ? these people will complain about anything really that’s why gaming is dying because of the new generation of gamers.
STFU you Xbox Xpat. I believe you have that backwards. The new generation of gamers are the ones that doesn’t care and would settle for rubbish such as this, LIKE YOU!
Don’t make me laugh … and you call yourselves “Gamers” hilarious.
Yes, because you are holier than fuq, therefor only you have ability to tell who a “real gamer” is. You are the arbiter of all things real apparently. Man STFU before I slap you with my Threadripper. Go lick some more of those lazy developers nootz and stop typing to me.
Why would you game on a Threadripper…
He is an AMD cultist high priest
Was mentioning your Threadripper really necessary? You are just trying to be a showoff here nothing else. It’s funny that you have a workstation class HEDT processor and all you do here is just complain about every single game, you built an expensive gaming rig just to visit this website and complain, what do you actually play and enjoy on your system? Fortnite? Because all I can see is a kid who visit a store with parents to buy the most expensive gaming system but does not know anything about gaming and only want to play Fortnite.
Lol didn’t knew he had a personal assistant who do his defense. If a Threadripper means that you’re some kind of professional working in PC space for years then my 3090 means the same I guess? Heck I have a TR 3970X workstation for graphic design and video editing, a 5800X rig for gaming and shortly building an Alderlake system as a secondary or primary rig (depending), does that mean my statements carry more weight in these arguments? Is that how you get impressed by someone or the statements they make?
The fact that this is a gaming website and he’s throwing his threadripper into an argument with a sentence like “STFU before I slap you with my Threadripper” is just an old cheap technique majority of PC gamers use to gain upper hand.
Old guard of what? Toxicity, crying and complaining? Trust me when you’ll see Steam reviews of this game and many other games that you constantly cry about then you’ll understand (or maybe not) that nobody cares about your old guard crap that you try to sell here.
Check the reviews of older DS games and Sekiro too. Public have already spoken before.
In 2021… HAHA, que in the apologists, “Gaming is not all about Frame Rates it’s about… (Insert Whatever BS That Justifies Their Fanboyish Pre-Ordering Ways”.
I stopped buying Japanese PC ports long ago, they are always horrible.
The issues I have seen:
-framerate caps
-lag
-bugs
-no mouse/keyboard support
-lack of graphics settings
-aggressive DRM
The japanese publishers also strike literally all of their music on youtube. F*k them.
It’s hilarious that majority of you are complaining about this game and when Darksouls and similar games were not on PC then you probably cried loud to get them? So what if it’s a Japanese developer and they used some recycled assets in a game that’s similar to Darksouls? How many times Ubisoft used recycled assets in Farcry games? How many Assassins Creed games feel similar? How many Call of Duty games are nothing but the same trash we are playing for years.
How many times Western developers throw garbage at you like broken Red Dead Redemption 2 and Batman Arkham Knight? Don’t get me wrong RDR2 is a good game but it took several patches for it to be playable on high end hardware and you’re complaing about a Japanese game?
I will take a Japanese game over trash woke feminist Western developers anyday. I don’t know about you guys but I am excited to play this game. An open world Dark Souls game? Why not? It’s going to be better than majority of open world trash coming from Western developers anyway.
60 fps cap is not good and will likely be modded real quick however if you got high end hardware and feeling bad about 60 fps limit then do something to make your game look better and use that wasted power somewhere esle? Play at 4K or 8K or heck just DSR or VSR it to those resolutions and then the game will look a lot better running at 60 fps. Put a reshade preset on it if it looks dated, it’s not going to fix everything but it will be better than consoles. There are so many ways PC gamers can improve their experience but no we gotta complain.
Do I look like I am crying? I am trying to stop you losers from crying. All you do on this website is cry about every single game. Maybe throw your PCs out of window and buy some cheap phone because that’s all you need to browse this website and cry. Even if a game will get patched properly, I am sure you will find another reason to cry.
And you probably can’t even write a simple matrix multiplication program in CSharp and talk about coding like you wrote Linux Kernel. GTFO drone.
“Do I look like I am crying?”
A: Yes, it does! So long, mate!
Then you lack basic comprehension skills.
Guess I’ll have to try and survive this way, mate.
Are you better today? You can cry if you need, it is good to your body.
And what you’re doing drone? Coming to this website and licking each other’s a** a complete circlej*rk show where you feel happy because your toxic partners agree with you.
If you or most people here don’t like DS or similar games then what are you actually doing on this article? Let me guess you are crying. You probably got your a** kicked so hard in these games that all you can do is cry and say it’s a bad port.
The only DS game that was bad and limited was DS1, things started improving from DS2 and got a lot better in DS3 and Sekiro was great. Check Steam reviews if your small brain can’t understand what I am saying, those overwhelming positive reviews are coming from PC gamers who don’t agree with your nonsense.
And 24 fps? You probably have something worse than a potato if you’re getting 24 fps in these games, do yourself a favor and upgrade your hardware, oh wait you probably don’t need to upgrade because all you need is a potato to visit this website and cry.
Again 60fps lock… Meh
Raytracing in X360 looking like game… is like putting Porshe engine to horse carriage.
From Software like typical JAP devs still are living in the PS2 and X360/PS3 era.
You think Elden Ring looks like 10 years older than Sekiro?
“because as we know, the engine is sh*t”, that is all was needed to be said. because man their engines feel as if they are held up by ducktape and very cheap horse shoe glue. I use to love platinum games when i was on consoles, came to PC i left them right where i left them, on the xbox 360. They have one of the worse engines. What ever you do in a platinum Games game, DO NOT ZOOM IN on the textures.
zooming in on a platinum game means zooming on 2B’s fat a*s 🙂
Oh FFS, people have been complaining about this with Fromsoft games since at least Dark Souls 2 in 2014. There’s no excuse for it now that 120 fps is a touted feature in consoles (not that there was any excuse before that). I mean c’mon, Sekiro ran just fine at high frame rates once you manually removed the FPS cap with a mod, why not just support this out of the box?
Hum really i didn’t know that. Maybe i should revisit the game for an 144fps playthrough.
From Software need new game engine designed for modern hardware. Just compare enviroment of Elden Ring with new Forza. Both games was designed for equal hardware. New Fable on Forza engine will destroy Elder Ring in 2022

K**l yourself
Games from 20-30 years ago can run above 120 FPS without issues on modern hardware. There is no excuse under the sun beyond the laziness of developers for a modern game not being able to handle it.
Sekiro also ran vastly better on both AMD and Nvidia with DXVK, that made the game not CPU bound anymore.
Likely an engine limitation
in 2021? That is unacceptable.
Nope. Sekiro had its cap lifted by modders. They just don’t give a damn about PC is all.
Shoddy Japanese developers are still tying game logic and physics to framerate? Some things never change. Glass half full, at least it’s not capped at 30fps.
At least they stopped capping resolutions. Metal Gear Rising is capped to 1080p to this day
You’ll find that some of them will have the highest resolution available be 4k. That will pose problems when in probably 5-10 years when even higher resolution displays start becoming common place.
Japanese devs agan showing that they still work on Windows XP 😀
Probably one of the reasons why Japan can’t do PC ports properly. The average young person in Japan does not know how double-clicking a mouse works (no this is not a joke).
Sh*tty console port strikes again. And here I thought they changed their ways since the gameplay reveal was on PC
Consoles can run 120 fps, so it’s not even that….this is worse imo
Can the PS4 and Xbox One run up to 120 fps?
Yes, with a whole bunch of trickery. Therefor the answer is NO! but don’t tell the console people that. The twin stickers tend to believe whatever Sony & Microsoft tells them. Most people playing on consoles don’t even have a damn 120hz input/output TV. But yet they think they are playing in 120hz, HAHAHa, a lot of these TVs that say 120 hz, are actually not. They don’t have a 120hz panel. 120hz can come in but it sure as hell can’t output 120hz.
I was under the impression the games are released on PS5 and XB Series X/S?
Xbox consoles just like PC have full support of VRR. You can enable unlimited frame-rate on those consoles and everyone will be happy.
Nearly all 4K TV released in last 4-5 years support VRR (Freesync). Most people bought those 4K TV for new consoles. I don’t understand why games are still limited to 60 fps instead of unlimited frame-rate
You have some things mixed up in there. VRR is one thing, 120hz panel delivering 120 fps is another. All the past 2 years LG OLEDS have 4k@120 hz and some very few models from Sony and Samsung can pull that off.
The rest of the TVs with VRR are limited to 60hz-60fps

I use to work in the industry, just so you know ALL gameplay reveals are on PCs. That’s what make all these years of unoptimized PC gaming hurts the moist. At E3 or any consumer trade show you go to, it’s PCs back their running the games NOT consoles. Consoles can’t develop games. Especially SONY, all their game reveals are ON PCs and Xbox uses Xbox Devkits. It’s just sad because PCs are after thought just so they can get held back. That’s why when i see people buying all the latest intel this and that for gaming I laugh, because none of it matters, ESPECIALLY when dealing with Japanese Devs. But it looks like the Chinese are about to straight destroy them when it comes to PC gaming. In teh next decade The Japs will get annihilated because of their lackadaisical and dismissive ways of doing things. I’d never ouch a Japanese Game on PC, unless it’s ported by a EU/Eastern EU Dev. They tend to respect the PC platform.
XDK 2020 is used for both PC and Xbox games. All DX12 games are designed and debugged on XDK because this is only way game developers can debug low level API. Standard retail cards available in stores don’t support hardware debug. XDK 2020 is a monster device and it is free to any game developer

From Software …..
You guys locked Dark Souls @ 30 on PC and then locked Dark Souls 3 @ 60 on PC
I thought it should be different this time ….. Guess we’re getting trolled again by incompetency.
locked at 60fps pls F off with this sh*t ….
I don’t believe that a game I’ll totally ignore, will be locked at 60fps, when my PC can’t even handle it at that framerate to begin with.
That’s a shame. I’m generally not interested in Souls games but this one looked decent from what I’ve seen of it recently. At the very least it has to be really well optimized and locked 60 on midrange systems. If it can’t do that then it’s a dud. Huge oversight considering we’re supposed to be in a new generation of consoles that tout 120hz capability.
All i see here is typical PC mustard race elitist BS. Muh locked to 60FPS so i cant play because my eyes bleed if games are in less then 200FPS like my CS:GO… Then you check steam hardware chart and realize that not even 10% of said elitist will be able to run it in even 20FPS… Stop b*tching about visuals and go play your glorious PC exclusives with amazing visuals like… emm.. ooh wait all PC exclusives are indie games with pixelart and stupid old garbage ps4 has better looking exclusives then mustardrace….
haha pathetic nips and their idiotic western weeb simps
haha pathetic nips and their idiotic western weeb simps
A forced low framerate lock in 2021. Unbelievable.
Still locking their own games at 60 fps, by even in 2021,
is just an unaccaptable mess from these pesky developers.
