Elden Ring developer FromSoftware has released update 1.13 for the game following a period of server maintenance across all platforms.This second post-Shadow of the Erdtree patch, live now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S, follows early July’s 1.12.3 update, which tweaked the Golden Hippopotamus fight, among other things.Publisher Bandia Namco released the 1.13 patch notes, and there are a few changes worth highlighting. For example, fans are getting excited about this quality-of-life change:”Changed the default selection of the OK / CANCEL prompt that shows up when using the ‘Spectral Steed Whistle’ while the spectral steed is dead. The default selection position is now OK.”However, localisation staff removed from the credits are still yet to be added in. The patch notes say:”In update 1.12, an error was included in the credits of the game. This issue will be corrected in the next update.”Elden Ring is one of the biggest video games of recent years, selling an incredible 25 million copies. The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is a hit, too, selling five million in just three days despite tough requirements.IGN’s Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree review returned a 10/10. We said: “Like the base game did before it, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree raises the bar for single-player DLC expansions. It takes everything that made the base game such a landmark RPG, condenses it into a relatively compact 20-25 hour campaign, and provides fantastic new challenges for heavily invested fans to chew on.”Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC Review ScreenshotsElden Ring update 1.13 patch notes:PvP-exclusive balance adjustmentsEquipmentIncreased poise damage of normal attacks for the following
