What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis Switch 2 port of Elden Ring is a solid package that mostly sticks the landing, though it's clearly a compromise. The core gameplay loop and the immense value of having the full game plus the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion are its biggest strengths. The main trade-off is performance, with a noticeable portion of players hitting frame drops or technical issues, dampening the otherwise impressive feat of getting this world running on the hardware. Discussion was heavily focused on the Switch 2 platform itself, with reactions to the port being decidedly mixed, while mentions of new features like armor sets or NPC invasions landed with a thud.
