Elden Ring is close to 765,000 simultaneous players… and accumulates bad reviews on PC

Elden Ring It has been released as the most popular FromSoftware game, to the point that yesterday it managed to reach a peak of 764,835 simultaneous playersbasically twice as many players as the company’s most popular Dark Souls title.

Yes indeed, not everything is joyand there is a lot of negative ratings, to the point that Steam shows the game with an overall rating “Varied“, where it is shown that, at the time of writing, 60 percent of reviews have been favorable (10,475 positive vs. 7,021 negative).

If we delve into the Elden Ring reviews on Steam, most of the complaints are linked to the performance of the game itselfwhere it is indicated that an AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor combined with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 moves between 24 and 40 FPS, that an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X + GeForce RTX 3080 presents performance drops.

Many also complain that there are problems enjoying the game by using a mouse and keyboardfreezes and crashes of the game, and even compatibility problems with some controls or that the game does not even start.

Usually, most criticism is tied to performanceand it is that they come to indicate that a GeForce GTX 1070 ran the game between 15 – 18 FPS, although of course, now it remains to be seen if this specific user, who is shown to have been able to play 20 minutes, was using an appropriate graphic configuration for his system. Of course, it is also said that if the game is run in windowed mode, it can even improve stability.

We will have to wait for future patches to help solve or minimize the problem.
