Elden Ring Update 01.002.001 Is Live Now On PS5 – Here Are The Details

From Software has released a quick update for Elden Ring today on PS5. This patch addresses some minor stability issues.

While the update is now out on PS5, it doesn’t appear to have hit the PS4. The patch needs to be downloaded so this is not just a server-side update. It is also leading to some major issues for the Xbox consoles with players expressing the “Network Status Failed” Error on their consoles.

This update has a very small download size and should be under 500 MB. If you are getting a large update, it is likely that you didn’t have the previous patches installed on your console, or it could be due to a bug.
