New Elden Ring mods were shared online in the past few days, making the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion's difficulty more manageable and improving the base game's visuals considerably. The first mod, Shadow of the Erdtree Journalist Mode, tweaks the Crimson Amber Medallion so that it reduces all damage taken by 50% in Journalist Mode and completely negates damage in Researcher Mode.

The second new Elden Ring mod, Infinidetail, doesn't introduce any gameplay tweak but rather improves the game's visuals by reducing/eliminating […]

Today's Elden Ring patch brings some significant ray tracing performance improvements on PC, a new comparison video highlights. The comparison video put together by MxBenchmarkPC puts the game's previous and current versions of the game running side by side running on an RTX 4080 GPU at 4K resolution, maximum settings and ray tracing, confirming how the new patch brought significant performance improvements with ray tracing. In scenarios where the game struggled to hit 60 frames per second, it now hits them easily, making playing the game with ray tracing a viable option on powerful systems.

The release of DLC expansions for games developed by FromSoftware is often met with plenty of anticipation, as the Japanese development studio is known for releasing additional content that is often even better than the base game. With Elden Ring, however, this was not very easy to achieve. The studio's latest game is a masterclass of action role-playing games and open-world design, which is difficult to top, something that FromSoftware is surely aware of, as the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion does not present a markedly better experience than the base game. At the same time, it is undeniable it […]
