Elden Ring
Elden Ring is FromSoftware's open-world action RPG co-created with George R.R. Martin, acclaimed for its vast dark-fantasy world and punishing combat.
What is Elden Ring?
Is Elden Ring down? Elden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, released in February 2022 in collaboration with author George R.R. Martin who contributed to the game's mythology. Set in the vast open world of the Lands Between, players explore a hauntingly beautiful and brutal landscape, fighting increasingly difficult bosses to collect Great Runes and become Elden Lord. Elden Ring became a cultural phenomenon immediately upon release, winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2022 and selling over 25 million copies — making it the best-selling FromSoftware title in history and one of the highest-acclaimed games ever made.
Elden Ring's online component includes asynchronous features — leaving messages and bloodstains for other players — as well as direct cooperative play through spirit summons and the tarnished co-op system, and PvP invasions. These features layer FromSoftware's distinctive online elements over the open-world framework. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, released in June 2024, was the best-selling DLC of 2024 and drove a massive player return that created significant server load.
Elden Ring online issues typically manifest as messages and summoning signs not appearing, cooperative summoning failing to match players together, invasion sessions failing to load, or the game being unable to verify online session status on login. FromSoftware's backend infrastructure, shared across Dark Souls titles, Sekiro, and Elden Ring, handles authentication for all these titles simultaneously.
