Is Elden Ring the best game ever? Probably. It all depends on who you ask. After Elden Ring officially hit the market on February 25, the game has been getting rave reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Unfortunately, while Elden Ring could be FromSoftware's best outing yet, don't tell that to PC gamers, who aren't quite sold.
While Elden Ring's performance issues aren't exclusive to PC gamers, those with desktops appear to be getting the brunt of it. As a result, Elden Ring currently holds a "mixed" review score on Steam, which is a far cry from what you'd expect from a game that many consider as one of the best of all time. To make matters worse, Elden Ring isn't running well on a variety of systems, including top-of-the-line gaming builds that should be able to handle the FromSoftware title's relatively modest hardware requirements.
If it's any consolation, it is only Elden Ring's launch weekend and FromSoftware has already deployed a series of patches in an attempt to fix the problems. It should only be a matter of time until FromSoftware finds a way to put this all behind them.
