Elden Ring Day One Patch Includes Balance Adjustments, Bug Fixes, And More

Elden Ring finally hits consoles and PC tomorrow, and today, one day before its release, Bandai Namco and From Software have released the patch notes for Patch 1.02, which is essentially the game’s day-one patch. 

In it, you’ll find numerous fixes, bug squashes, and more. If this day-one patch is like previous ones, it’s likely you won’t even be playing the game until after this update has been installed. If you’re buying the game physically or already have it pre-loaded with a digital purchase, this update will likely be pushed before you begin the game. 

Here’s what to expect from Patch 1.02 in Elden Ring: 

• Better player control
• Background music can be added or removed.
• Text modifications
• Balance adjustments
• NPC Event Fixes and Adjustments
• In certain situations, fixed frame rates can drop
• Fixed text bug for some languages
• Corrected a problem that stopped the Xbox wireless headset working correctly 

These patch notes also include a quick note about the game’s forthcoming implementation of ray-tracing, citing this support is planned for after the game’s launch tomorrow and that more details about it will be revealed in “future announcements.”
